A Little History
Welcome to the World of Russian Nesting Dolls
These classic designs have stood the test of time thanks in part to the conventional wisdom of those who have come before us. The ideas and customs that created these dolls are uniquely Russian, but you don’t have to be Russian to enjoy these cute stackable dolls.
Typically there are no words on these nesting dolls; the ideas and themes are meant to be universally understood. The simple charm that a nesting doll provides can transcend any culture. It is customary for Russian folk art artists to decorate their dolls with bright colors and smiling faces. No matter what language you speak you are sure to understand where the artist was coming from. The artists do not need to use any words, they let their art speak for itself, and people usually get it. In addition, traditional matryoshka dolls are meant to celebrate traditional Russian culture, and it is customary to show the subject of the nesting doll wearing some sort of traditional clothing. Sometimes they are wearing Russian hats, but more often the dolls that feature women often show them wearing a traditional Russian shawl.
The bottom line is that nesting doll are meant to be played with and enjoyed. Even if you are just opening the doll to displaying it on your mantle, you still must actively pay attention to how each doll lines up. Don’t press too hard or you’ll break it. Don’t open it too fast or you’ll lose that little one. Take your time. Be careful. Have fun, and enjoy your nesting doll just as people have been enjoying their nesting dolls for over a hundred years. These customary, time honored designs make a perfect gift, or addition to a collection. They are all handcrafted, and individually unique.
