[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 421335, member: 2844"]I agree with komo, it says Palekh and troika. Palekh is one of the famous lacquer making villages in Russia. There used to be Russian shops in W Europe all through the Cold War period. I think they were state-owned, part of the propaganda, and to strengthen cultural ties. That is where we bought Russian lacquer, porcelain etc. Since we are in the south of the Netherlands, our nearest one was in Brussels, Belgium. It was a treasure trove, three stories full of Russian culture. I remember buying a bag full of Russian flower shawls there in the 60s.:happy:[/QUOTE]
