Paper strips are wrapped around the handles, but some are missing or slightly peeled off. I displayed them in my living room at home after receiving them, but I am selling them to declutter. The following is a copy-pasted explanation of Khokhloma painting from the internet: Khokhloma painting (Хохлома painting) is a traditional Russian wooden lacquerware characterized by its vibrant use of black, red, and gold colors, and patterns featuring motifs of nature such as flowers, berries, and leaves. A unique technique is used where tin and lacquer are layered and baked in a kiln to create a golden color, and then the painting is applied on top. It is widely used for souvenirs, tableware, and furniture as "golden lacquerware that is not gold." Features and Techniques of Khokhloma Painting Material: Mainly wood such as linden is used. Color Secret: Without using gold leaf, the tin powder and lacquer are repeatedly layered and baked, causing the tin to melt and develop a golden color (like goldwork). Patterns: Based on a black background, red and gold (actually, tin that has turned golden) are used to depict berries, flowers, birds, trees, etc. Durability: Resistant to heat and acid, suitable for everyday tableware. Origin: The village of Khokhloma in the Nizhny Novgorod region is famous, but the technique developed in the surrounding villages. *End of reprint How about using them as interior decor or everyday tableware? Because metal is used, it seems they cannot be used in a microwave.
