• 2 Russian Khokhloma lacquerware cups • Red, green, gold, & black hand-painted wood • Vintage • No issues found • 2 7/16" & 2 1/2" dia. x 2 3/8" H • Made in Russia/USSR Two vintage, Russian Khokhloma wooden cups, hand-painted with traditional floral and rowan berry designs! They are handmade and differ slightly in measurements and shape. Khokhloma is a traditional Russian folk craft originating from the 17th century in the Gorky Oblast (now Nizhny Novgorod) region. It is famous for its bright, hand-painted floral and berry patterns - predominantly in red, green, and gold - set against a glossy black or golden background. The craft gained international fame after winning the Grand Prix at the 1889 Paris International Exhibition. It takes its name from the village of Khokhloma, which served as a major trading hub where merchants brought painted woodenware from surrounding villages to sell. Items such as spoons, bowls, cups, and furniture are carved from soft hardwoods like linden, birch, or aspen. The wood is treated with special clay and coated with linseed or hemp oil, then rubbed with powdered tin or aluminum to give it a bright, reflective, mirror-like silver surface. Master artists paint fluid, folk art motifs like rowan berries, strawberries, and flowers using heat-resistant oil paints. The finished piece is varnished and baked in a furnace, turning the translucent aluminum base and varnish into a rich, honey-colored "gold" finish.

FROM UNCLE VINNY was my mother’s creation. Since I was a child, she would give extra presents to family on holidays, things that she found at thrift stores and garage sales. These gifts were handpicked for the recipient, and we always enjoyed opening them. She would sign the tag from “Uncle Vinny”, after St. Vincent de Paul’s endearing nickname, St. Vinny’s. Uncle Vinny performed his gift-giving duties under my mother’s tutelage for 50 years. Some relatives have known his presence all their lives: one cousin grew up without ever learning the truth behind our second Santa Claus, and she reached adulthood believing that we had some strange, distant uncle who sent us used presents! Today, my family still occasionally takes up Uncle Vinny’s mantle, bestowing thrifted gifts to each other in his name. I carry on the tradition in my own way, reselling vintage treasures I find at the same places mom and I used to shop together. Uncle Vinny lives on. I hope Uncle Vinny has the perfect gift here for you!
