Gzhel, a type of porcelain decorated with paintings depicting country life in dark blue ink, derives its name from a picturesque Moscow region. Each painting is unique and tells a story, true accounts as well as fairytales, and combines beauty and fantasy in its own unique style. These cobalt blue paintings are made to last forever and are protected by a glaze to ensure their durability. They possess a remarkable ability to attract and entrance people with their unique artwork. All paintings are done individually by hand. In addition to being suitable for a wide variety of everyday uses, Gzhel objects are often used today to decorate homes.
