Product Description

Ukrainian Maidens Nesting Doll (Український Дев Матрьошка). Before the breakup of the Soviet Union, Ukraine had a small, but energetic production center for dolls with traditional Ukrainian colors and design motifs. These dolls were not produced in great quantities and were marketed through smaller export channels, such as Ukrainian import shops in the US and Canada.

This set was made in the latter half of the 20th century. The wood is different - it's a bit thicker than that used by Russian doll makers. Acceptable condition, flaking, paint loss (visible on first two pieces), flaking on the tops. No retouching has been done to this set. 1970s. 5 nest, 4¾" in height. 1 only.
