No 19th-century Russian would have dined without using these colorful, handpainted trays, which are a joy to behold today. This book offers a history of this wonderful folk art, with information on the materials and techniques used to create the trays, as well as common motifs particular to a time period. Included are works by craftsmen from the Urals, St. Petersburg and Zhostovo, engravings used as themes, depictions of trays in Russian paintings, and decorative panels containing motifs used in tray designs. This book should be a standard item in the applied arts library.
