Here is information about authentic pieces:
There are four schools of Russian lacquered miniatures art: Fedoskino, Palekh, Kholui and Mstera. Actually, Fedoskino was the first Russian art school that adopted the style of oriental «lakwear». Artists of Fedoskino use oil-painting. This is the most sufficient distinction. The Fedoskino miniature is realistic. The three-layer painting technique used in Fedoskino provides depth and volume of the works. The painting look real and alive and you can almost breathe the air of landscapes and subject stages. Fedoskino lacquer miniature painting is a longstanding trade. It is more than 250 years old. The traditional technology of the papier-mache lacquer box making is maintained carefully. It is based upon the classical multilayer oil painting techniques used by the old masters. Centuries on experience have proven that Fedoskino boxes remain in pristine condition for many, many decades. They can become heirlooms passed from generation to generation. Palekh, Mstera and Kholui use egg tempera technique of painting. The point is that these villages have initially been icon-painting centers.
The authentiques Russian lacquered items are expensive, but why? Making a box requires a lot of time and labor. The process before painting takes several months. Only the natural materials are used and all of them are rather expensive. The box painted by a master is not a souvenir but a work of art.
