The New Year tree is decorated with a collection of trays made in the technique of the ancient art craft "Nizhny Tagil trays", which is more than 250 years old - it is considered to be the predecessor of Zhostovo trays.

The peculiarity of this painting is a special malachite background. The not yet dried paint of the tray is fumigated with burnt tree bark, and the smoke absorbed into the paint creates beautiful patterns like on malachite.
