Fedoskino (Russian: федоскинская миниатюра)
In 1923, Fedoskino wares were awarded a diploma for ‘superb artistic skill’ at the All Union Exhibition of Agricultural, Industrial and Cultural Products, which was held in Moscow in that year. Some of the factory craftsmen had artistic education, and many of them had come from icon-painting studios.
In 1931 the opening of a vocational school of miniature painting at Fedoskino ensured the perpetuation of the art form, which allowed the continued development through the following years. Stylistically the Fedoskino factory is distinct from the other schools of miniature lacquer painting: notably those of Palekh, Mstera and Kholui. [1]
