Vintage Soviet USSR Khokhloma Wooden Lacquer Ware 9-Piece Punch & Beverage Set - "Kudrina" Strawberry Pattern - Rare Beriozka Store Labels
Available for purchase is a magnificent, complete 9-piece vintage wooden lacquer ware beverage and serving set produced in the Soviet Union (USSR) during the late Cold War era (circa 1970s–1980s).
This set is an exceptional collector's find because it retains its original luxury export marks and restricted-access store provenance tags.
Historical Provenance & Details:- Beriozka Store Connection: The base of the main vase features its original matching green-and-white paper price label from "Березка" (Beriozka / Bereska). These were the legendary, restricted Soviet state-run retail shops that accepted only foreign hard currency, catering exclusively to international tourists, diplomats, and high-ranking officials.- Authentic Export Markings: Features the circular factory ink stamp reading "Made in USSR" along with the original Soviet price and technical standards code (РСТ РСФСР).- Hand-Painted Khokhloma Craftsmanship: Crafted in the famous "Kudrina" folk art style, utilizing traditional heat-treated lacquers to create a mirror-bright faux gold finish against a deep black base. The design is meticulously hand-detailed with vibrant orange-red strawberries, golden foliage, and delicate floral scrolls.
The Complete 9-Piece Set Includes:- 1 Large Master Beverage Vase (Measures approx. 6" Tall x 5" Wide).- 1 Coordinating Medium Serving Pot/Holder.- 1 Large Matching Serving Spoon (Features its original paper factory wrap intact on the handle!).- 6 Matching Individual Cups / Goblets.
Condition Report:This set is in exceptional, near-pristine vintage condition:- Structure: All wooden components are solid, stable, and completely free of cracks, wood splits, structural chips, or loose joints.- Lacquer Finish: The interior and exterior gloss remains brilliantly reflective and smooth. There is virtually no fading, displaying only a few micro-scuffs from honest storage age.- Paper Labels: The highly desirable Beriozka price labels on the bases and the paper wrapper on the spoon handle remain beautifully intact.
Shipping Care:Fine hand-painted woodware requires careful environmental protection. Each of the 9 pieces will be individually wrapped in soft, scratch-free protective paper before being encased in heavy-duty bubble wrap. The entire collection will be shipped in a strong outer box with dense padding to ensure safe delivery to your door.
An elite addition for collectors of Soviet memorabilia, USSR folk art, mid-century bohemian kitchen decor, or unique barware!
