Gzhel Sugar Bowl

This Gzhel sugar bowl was handpainted in the Gzhel style (traditional blue and white). Also available are bowls, plates, cups and saucers, teapots, casserole dishes, platters . . . the list goes on. Level of intricacy and design may differ, and this may factor into the ultimate price. Shop around to get the best deal, but don't pass up an example of Gzhel dishware if you find one that you really like. Different Gzhel artists put their own flair into the items that they paint, even though their process is somewhat formulaic; you may stumble on a piece that seems to "speak" to you through its shape, design, and style.
