RE: Silver and porcelain

in WORLD OF XPILAR8 days ago

During the Soviet era, we called this porcelain painting Gzhel; skrviz was very popular back then, on par with crystal and Khokhlama. :)
The silver is beautiful, too, but it was the tapestry that caught my attention, leaving both porcelain and silver out of the picture.
I remember how, as a child, I loved looking at a rug with a slightly uneven pattern that hung on the shabby veranda of the house we rented at a seaside resort.

I could probably spend hours gazing at the details of this delicate workmanship.

Yes, tapestry is awesome especially such size covering almost he whole wall, that is real art! Me too loved to look and study the pattern of an old carpet on wall every single curve or any pattern was looking like something. I still remember how in the corner of my carpet hte pattern was looking like a dragon with fire from its mouth :)
