Vintage Russian Khokhloma Hand-Painted Wooden Cup (c.1960s–1980s) – Folk Art Floral Lacquerware – 9cm
-
Bring a touch of vibrant Eastern European folk art to your home with this charming vintage Russian Khokhloma wooden cup, beautifully hand-painted in the traditional palette of jet black, burnished gold, and warm berry-red accents. Khokhloma is one of Russia’s most iconic decorative arts – a craft that dates back to the 17th century and is instantly recognisable for its sweeping floral brushstrokes, shimmering golden leaf motifs, and rich lacquered finish.
-
This delightful small beaker stands 9cm tall with an 8cm diameter across the rim. Crafted from turned wood, it features a warm golden lacquer interior, a signature element of Khokhloma that gives the piece its glowing, almost candlelit radiance. The exterior bursts with swirling foliage, berries and flowers, painted freehand with the fluidity and energy typical of mid-20th-century Khokhloma artists.

Perfect as:
A display piece for lovers of folk art
A pencil or brush pot on a creative desk
A colourful bohemian accent on a shelf
A collectible example of traditional Russian lacquerware
-
There is some gentle wear consistent with age, particularly to the base, adding to its authentic vintage character.
-
A lovely piece of Russian craftsmanship with a bold decorative charm – a true celebration of folk tradition, colour, and artistry.
