The difference in quality is striking, with the nice one being much better quality, with the gold trim you mentioned, and signed by the artist.
Here's a photo (don't you love scanners?) of the box I bought. I don't know how clear this will appear when I upload it, but all that yellow is gold.

Thanks. Quite similar to mine, except mine are more like royal landscapes. I think the gold trim is exquisite. There were cheaper ones when we there also, so some things haven't changed much. I would love to go back to Moscow to see the changes since Communism fell. Elitism reigned in that city those days. We were inside Russia for 10 days and did not have a clue as to what was happening in the "real world." It was eerie and fascinating. |
