• 3 Russian matryoshka wooden nesting dolls • Yellow, pink, blue, green, purple, brown, & black • Vintage • No issues found • Marked on bottom • Handmade in Russia • Penny not included • Smallest - 3/4" dia. x 1 1/2" H • Largest - 1 1/2" dia. x 3 1/4" H Lovely, little traditional set of 3 Russian matryoshka nesting dolls, crafted of hand-turned wood with hand-painted, sweet faces and pink and green blooming flowers! Matryoshka dolls are a set of wooden dolls of decreasing size placed one inside another. Traditionally, the outer layer is a woman dressed in a sarafan, a long and shapeless traditional Russian peasant jumper dress. Much of the artistry is in the painting of each doll which can be very elaborate. The first Russian nested doll set was made in 1890. The name matryoshka, literally "little matron", is a diminutive form of the Russian female first name "Matryona". In the west, matryoshka dolls are often referred to as babushka dolls, babushka meaning "grandmother" or "old woman".

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!
