Souvenir "Angel with a pipe", Gzhel

Gzhel - the most famous Russian folk fishing, which is distinguished by the unique style of painting dishes and interior items from ceramics.

Initially, Gzhel was color, and in the XVIII century the masters began to use cobalt. This dark gray paint becomes bright blue in the process of firing the product.

So the recognizable style of Gzhel appeared-the blue landscape and plant painting, which connects to the geometric ornament on a snow-white background. Masters paint each item only manually.
