Russian Nesting Doll

A charming marriage of Old World craft and American tradition, this Thanksgiving Pilgrim matryoshka-style nesting doll is a seasonal collectible that stands apart from the expected. Turned from wood and finished in a smooth, glossy lacquer, the egg-shaped figure depicts a smiling Pilgrim gentleman in full colonial regalia — blue buckled hat, teal coat with yellow buttons, crisp Puritan collar — his hands cradling an abundant cornucopia spilling over with harvest bounty. The hand-painted folk-art linework is confident and clean, rendered in a warm palette of teal, brown, cream, and gold that captures the spirit of the autumn table with genuine charm.

Likely produced in the late 20th century, this piece occupies a delightful collector niche where Americana holiday décor meets the beloved matryoshka tradition. Condition is good throughout — lacquer remains intact and glossy, with only a minor label remnant on the torso and slight paint variation at the seam. No chips or cracks. Almost certainly one piece of a multi-figure nesting set, making it equally appealing as a display piece or a hunt-worthy addition to a seasonal folk-art collection.
