<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Figtree3, post: 4353451, member: 33&quot;]Most Russian lacquerware is hand painted, by artists who are employed by the companies who make the items. There are some individual artists who don&#039;t work for big companies who do them, too.</p><p><br /></p><p>The name of the original artist and the name of the painting are what is in the long line of text. Under that, under the hole, is the word &quot;Russia&quot; and also the name of the person who painted the egg: <b>N. Okutina</b>. Most of the artists who painted lacquerware are identified only by their first initial and surname. In this case, no city of manufacture is given, so it&#039;s unknown if this was from a big company, or whether it&#039;s an individual artist.</p><p><br /></p><p>I didn&#039;t see this one earlier, or would have chimed in! I think it&#039;s beautiful.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
