Khokhloma cups are comfortable to use and valued for their beauty. They are not only useful, but also beautiful ornaments that can brighten any home. The contrast of bright crimson over a deep black background, along with glittering gold under a varnish finish, produces an astonishing effect. Like utensils decorated in the same style, these cups would make a perfect gift for any holiday! Golden Khokhloma is an original Russian folk craft, famous for its painted wooden utensils. The craft was born in the late 17th century, taking its name from the large trading village of Khokhloma. Based on centuries of experience, masters of handicrafts have developed an unprecedented and hitherto unrivaled technique of gilding turned-work utensils without real gold. While the method has remained the same, the ornamental patterns and artistic subjects are constantly changing, making this an artistic form that is continually developing and improving.
