Signed 10-Piece Russian Matryoshka 11? Blue Gzhel Folk Tale Scenes

  

Hand-painted Russian nesting doll set, 10 pieces, tallest about 11 inches. Crafted in a Gzhel-inspired blue and cream palette, each doll tells a different part of a traditional Russian folk tale through its detailed miniature paintings. The largest doll shows a village wedding celebration under the moonlight.

Others depict home life, weaving, maidens in gowns, feasting with goblets, drawing water from the well, snowy cottages, musicians, and family figures. The smallest doll completes the story with a simple peasant figure, symbolizing continuity of tradition. This set is not a repeating floral souvenir - it's a narrative artwork where every doll is different, making it far rarer and more collectible. The lacquer is glossy and intact, the joins open and close smoothly, and the set is complete with all 10 dolls.
