The decoration of the fir tree represents a bright folk art craft - Kislovodsk porcelain. Kislovodsk porcelain first drew up attention in the 1930s. Then single artisans decided to unite into an artel to increase the quality and quantity of fragile products.

At first, the craftsmen made vases and caskets, and after recognition at the Paris World Fair, they expanded their range. Participation in the international show became a new turn in the development of the original craft. In 1993 the Kislovodsk craft received the status of a craft of federal importance. Despite the advancement of high-tech, the development of new methods of decoration, the factory is faithful to traditions. Everything, as almost a hundred years ago, is done by hand.

The decoration of the fir tree includes unique porcelain products with molding of delicate lilies of the valley and pastel colors of pink and blue poppies, and, of course, buvette-mugs as a reminder of the richness of mineral waters of the North Caucasus. Sheaves of wheat are the accents on the fir tree - the region is rightfully considered the breadbasket of Russia.
