The Nevalyashka collection is inspired by the classic Russian roly-poly dolls, also known as “Nevalyashka.” These vintage dolls have a rich history dating back to the early 20th century. Known for their rounded shape and weighted base, these dolls wobble but never fall, symbolizing resilience and balance. The original Nevalyashka dolls were often made from plastic or wood and were cherished for their cheerful faces and playful motion. In this collection, I’ve reinterpreted the traditional Nevalyashka in ceramic, blending the vintage charm of these dolls with the tactile beauty of clay. Each piece is carefully crafted to capture the essence of the original design, while adding a contemporary touch through the handmade process. Though these Nevalyashka dolls have already found their homes, this gallery invites you to explore their enduring appeal and the artistry that brings this beloved vintage style to life.
