The main decoration of the region's fir trees are real glazed tiles made in the traditional technique of majolica, a type of multicolored ceramics that is widely used to decorate buildings.

In Russia, Yaroslavl was considered a major center of majolica production. Since the middle of the XVII century they began to produce glazed tiles for decorating churches and houses there. By the XIX century products in the technique of majolica were used in exterior and interior decoration, also a large number of dishes and interior decorations were produced.

For a long time, this craft was in oblivion and about 20 years ago talented artists N. Pavlova and E. Shepelev revived the art by creating a workshop, which later became known as "Yaroslavl Majolica".

Applied products for everyday life - cheese painted boards in the traditional color scheme of ancient tiles - are also used in the decoration.
