Poltava honey jar in burnished glass

Tap lightly, inspect the base, and make sure the shape feels balanced before it is wrapped.

07 Toys

3‑D wooden puzzle – Belarusian version of Tetris

Hold it from several angles and avoid pieces whose detail disappears as soon as they leave the front view. For 3‑D wooden puzzle – Belarusian version of Tetris, that matters because the cut lines, weight, polish, and small irregularities make the handwork visible. A compact piece with visible tool work usually survives both travel and changing taste better than a large glossy one.
