Tam at The Gypsy's Corner is hosting Three or More Tuesday. This is my first time entering.
I thought I would show my Russian Lacquer boxes. I have many, many Russin trinkets large and small all over my house.
These Russian boxes are intricately handpainted and can cost several hundred of dollars. These are those....lol. However I think they are all pretty and I love collecting them.
This one depicts Snegurochka, the SnowMaiden. You can't really tell from the photo but the bottom of her dress and the snow is a glittery white.
My goodies inside the box...
This is a landscape box. It measures about 3x2x1 inches.

This is a landscape box. It measures about 3x2x1 inches.
It has a beautiful delicate gold scolling along all four sides and sits on four little feet.
The goodies inside this box. That is a Russian ring in there that is also handpainted and has the same gold scroll painting all over it.
This box shows a couple. They are dressed in very traditionaly Russian folk clothing.
I love the gold work on this one. I don't know if you can tell but it's tiny leaves on that vine.

Another box with young lovers painted on it.
This one does not have any gold painting on the sides. And I have nothing inside it. It just sits on my dresser with the other ones.

These are really sweet little boxes April. I would think they are pretty old? It is cool that your treasure holders are themselves treasures.
What pretty boxes -- I have seen lots of porcelain painted boxes, but these are so different and unusual -- just lovely!

Your boxes are beautiful, April!
Just stopping by to tell you that I posted a mini-tut on the altered spoons you asked me about & I've included the images...come by & see!
Those are so beautiful! What a great collection! Thanks for sharing them for Show and Tell!
Fabulous collection. I had not seen these kind of boxes before.

Have a glorious Friday, and super weekend.!!
Very pretty what a wonderful collection I love the art on them ~Thanks for sharing~ Blessings Heather:D
April, I love your collection, so beautiful! I too have a collection of the boxes, some are old Fedoskino that were passed on to me. My collection is now thinned down a bit as I've passed some on to my son and daughter. I also have a collection of matryoshkas (you can see a photo of them in my side bar).
Thanks for sharing your wonderful collection!
