Artists

Osip Efimovich Burbyshev has the unique distinction of being the only artist from the Vishnyakov workshops that signed his name to his works. A tray with the depiction of a bouquet, signed by Burbyshev, is part of the collection of the Russian Museum. The Burbyshev name is steeped in lacquer miniature. Although it is unclear if a direct relationship exists, Zakhar Timofeevich Burbyshev (1863-1930) operated a home-based paper-mache workshop until 1917, and later moved with his family to Fedoskino, where the Burbyshev name exists among artists today.
