Artists Matryoshka Red with black berries with yellow & gold leaves (5 nested set)
Artists Matryoshka / nesting doll / Russian doll
The
first matryoshka ( nesting doll ) was produced by Sergei Malutin in
Sergiev Posad in 1890 painted on a set of dolls produced by Vasily
Zvyozdochkin. As Matryoshki became popular other places such as Vyatka
and Semenov also started specialising in their production.
This
set is a handpainted artists set and they are a little more rare than
the traditional sets. Each of them is more likely to be somewhat unique
as well so they make an ideal collectors set. Whether you consider this
set a collectors piece or not these wooden toys are still a great way to
help kids to develop hand and eye coordination (recommended for
children three years and above). You can stack the nesting dolls on top
of each other or maybe play a little game of guess what’s inside with
your little ones. Whatever game you want to play, and whatever you call
these dolls, whether stacking dolls, nesting dolls, Russian dolls or
Matryoshka your kids will enjoy the real life interaction and the fun.
We
should add that these matryoshka are not traditionally called Babushka
dolls and that babushka actually means grandmother in Russian.
