Here are four Khokhloma-painted cups and two spoons, traditional Russian handicrafts. They are characterized by their vibrant use of black, red, and gold, and patterns featuring plants and berries. They are made using a unique technique where wood, such as linden, is shaped on a potter's wheel, coated with a powder of tin or aluminum, and then baked with varnish to produce a golden color. They are a type of lacquerware, but can be used for hot food and are durable, with no color fading. Since they are made from processed wood, the cups are lightweight.
