Russian Khokhloma vase in painted wood

Lacquered wooden vase, beautifully decorated with hand-painted floral motifs, with beautiful colors: gold, black and dark orange pulling on the brown. Of russian origin, it is an example of traditional khokhloma crafts, highlighted by and for tourism since the 60s. It seems to me that this vase would rather date from the 70s or 80s. There is a small piece of label left underneath. Inside, it is lacquered silver gray. It is in rather good condition but does not hide its age: rare small spots and marks on the outside, numerous marks and stripes on the inside, and two cracks very little visible on the outside, one of about 3 cm on the narrowing of the vase, the other of about 6 cm that goes up to the edge. But neither of them moves, they do not jeopardize the vase. This vase is 22.5 cm high, 10 cm in diameter at the high rim and about 13 cm maximum diameter. It weighs about 250 g. Two other khokhloma containers are on sale in my shop, as well as the set of three, click on "see other products from this seller" to find them.
