Vintage Snow White Seven Dwarfs Russian Nesting Dolls Matryoshka 5 Piece Hand

A delightful and increasingly hard to find set of hand painted Russian matryoshka nesting dolls featuring Snow White and the Seven  Each piece is individually hand painted in bright, cheerful colors — Snow White in her iconic blue and yellow dress with dwarfs at her feet on the largest doll, individual dwarf portraits on each of the four smaller pieces.  All five pieces nest together cleanly and securely. The lacquered finish is intact throughout with minor surface scratches consistent with age and handling — exactly what you'd expect from a well-traveled piece of folk art from this era.  No maker's markings found — typical of Russian tourist and export pieces from this period.  ✦ Subject: Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs ✦ Type: Matryoshka nesting dolls ✦ Pieces: Complete set of 5 ✦ Material: Wood, hand painted, lacquered ✦ Markings: None ✦ Era: Circa 1990s post-Soviet era ✦ Condition: Very good vintage — lacquer intact, minor surface scratches, all pieces nest correctly  A charming piece of 1990s folk art that sits equally well in a toy collection, a Disney collection, or a matryoshka collection.
