Up for sale is a charming vintage 5-piece set of traditional Russian nesting dolls (Matryoshka), uniquely hand-painted with a nautical sea captain and sailor theme. Each stacking doll depicts a different seafaring character, starting with the primary captain in a dark navy blue uniform smoking a pipe, followed by officers and crew members in distinct yellow, black, and green attire. The largest doll stands just over 4 inches tall, tapering down incrementally to a tiny, solid-wood final sailor figure. Please note that this pre-owned vintage set exhibits visible paint chipping and wear on the figures, adding a rustic, weathered look to their maritime character. This unique novelty set still makes a wonderful addition to any folk art display or coastal-themed shelf decor. Please review all detailed close-up photographs next to the ruler to inspect the exact paint condition, woodwork, and fitting of each piece. See photos for accurate depiction of condition.
