There, the artisans decorate all sorts of household vessels, plates, etc., with this fanciful floral pattern dominated by rich teals, oranges, reds, and yellows, always on a white background. It is a dream of a matryoshka: winter's fields are covered with a blanket of snow, when suddenly spring breaks forth with a fury of longed-for flowers and colors, like carnival or fireworks. oranges, reds, and yellows, always on a white background. Initialed and dated by the artist, and stamped with the Golden Cockerel logo on the bottom. 5pc./6"
