A small discovery in the travel

I always thought that Gzhel, Khokhloma, Palekh ... - there are Russian national crafts ... But I saw a lot of products with a similar technique of painting in souvenir shops in Portugal. I think that this type of art Gzhel (blue and white) might arise in different parts of the world, each in their own way.

The quality of these products is very high and it is said that here it's all there was before ... Surprisingly, Russia and Portugal are far away from each other, and the same painting technique.

And Gzhel

And the history of the Portuguese ceramics can write odes, it is everywhere. Even there is a special National Azulejo Museum.

Now a few words about scarfs. Scarfs, in my opinion, generally come from the East, let alone painting Pavlovsky Posad we have in large assortment!
