Antique Cotton Christmas Ornaments!

The history of Russian cotton ornaments started around 1900, when some private manufacturers began producing this type of Christmas ornaments. The idea was taken from German early pressed cotton ornaments that were imported into Russia. However, there was no real mass production of the cotton Christmas ornaments in Russia. Since 1917 to 1936 Christmas ornaments were not produced in Soviet communist Russia.

The first Soviet pressed cotton ornaments were regularly made in Soviet Union from 1936. Russian people liked to decorate their New Year trees with pressed cotton vegetables and fruits. Very popular versions were also of cotton people, birds and animals. The faces of the cotton people were made of paper mache and/or clay. Most of the Soviet cotton ones are covered in the slimmest coat of mica, this gives a lustre to the ornaments. Another name folk gave to these items was “Sugar Ornaments”. Children also used these cotton ornaments in their daily play, not just at Christmas or New Years Day. Soviet cotton ornaments were produced until the mid 1950s, and they were all still fully made by hand, but were not produced in large quantities. It is difficult to find these antique cotton items in good condition today.
