"The exquisite shell of the Matrioschka doll is crafted in Russia according to ancient tradition. Matrioschka dolls are painstakingly turned from a whole log, and only the strongest and most flawless birch logs are used for the purpose. The entire process, including the painting, is carried out by hand. Perhaps that's why this Russian work of art fits so well with the cuddly little fellows hidden inside! There's a Teddy bear of finest mohair with his two little brothers, both of whom have their own Russian doll shell. The largest Teddy bear is wearing a lucky charm around his neck - a Matrioschka pendant. All three Teddy bears wear a white consecutively numbered ear tag and a gold-plated "Button-in-Ear" "

Teddy bears are approximately 30cm, 13cm and 9cm in height

Wonderful set in mint condition, with Certificate of Authenticity and original box.
