For a long time the production of Khokhloma was hampered by the high cost of tin. Only a wealthy customer could afford such a painting. In the 18th century such a customer in the Volga region were monasteries. Masters of the Nizhny Novgorod region were called by workers to Church parishes to get acquainted with the production of unusual beautiful dishes.

Modern production of Khokhloma concentrated in Russia in two centers: the city of Semenov, where there are two factories for the production of Khokhloma products, and the village of Semino koverninsky district. Their products are valued all over the world. Now Khokhloma painting pattern has become so popular and relevant that it can be found on clothing, packaging paper, in the design of the premises.
