Real products of the region’s folk art craft — Kungur ceramics — decorated the region’s New Year tree at VDNH.

This is an ancient pottery craft, which originated in the town of Kungur more than 300 years ago.

The history of these products is so long that it is mentioned in the chronicles. And in 1790 A. N. Radishchev left a record about Kungur pots in his diary. Peasant potters at that time made and sold simple and inexpensive things that could not boast of exquisite decorations, but were necessary in the household — pots, pots, jugs, crocks and so on.

Also, to decorate the fir tree, artists of the region painted traditional wooden panels and boards, figures of horses and stylized angels.
