Precious handmade and noble materials in the stained-glass products of the Hrizolit workshop can be seen in Rostov, Yaroslavl Oblast.
🔻Besides their primary focus on icon making, they create pieces using the technique of stained glass enamel, carrying on the work of pre-revolutionary masters.
🔻Russian art, particularly the atmosphere of fairytale and epic Russia, serves as inspiration for the creation of their tableware.
🔻The process of creating of an item is the precious work of several Craftsmen over several weeks.
🔻The artist draws a sketch, the jeweler makes a filigree ornament, the enameler puts the enamels in the cells, the product is repeatedly fired in muffle furnaces at temperatures up to 800°C, it is polished, gilded, and then it is ready to fly to a new home.

• Губа не дура
[gu-ba ni du-ra]
SLT: the lip is not a silly girl
🔻This proverb is used to describe someone who knows how to choose the best, most advantageous option for themselves or take advantage of something valuable or useful.
🔻The full proverb is:
• Губа не дура, язык не лопатка: знает, что горько, что сладко.
[gu-ba ni du-ra, yi-zhyk ni la-pat-ka, zna-yet shto go-r'-ka shto slat-ka]
SLT: Lip not a fool, tongue not a shovel, knows what's bitter, what's sweet.
🔻The proverb uses 'губа' (lip) specifically, and not another part of the body, because it is our organ that is primarily responsible for taste.
🔻This is one of the possible similar English equivalents:
Someone knows which side bread is buttered on.
Example:
• Да уж, котик, у тебя губа не дура есть икру лапками!
[da uzh, ko-tik, u ti-bya gu-ba ni du-ra yest' ik-ru lap-ka-mi]
🇬🇧 Yeah, kitty, you know which side bread is buttered on to eat caviar with your paws!
