By the late nineteenth century, kustar products were sold worldwide. Kustar products were shown at the First All-Russian Kustar Exhibition, in the Tauride Palace in St Petersburg, in 1902, and at the second such exhibition that was also organised in St Petersburg, and which took place in 1913. After the Russian Revolution, kustar crafts were again briefly promoted, and exhibited at the First All-Russian Exhibition of Architecture and Kustar Industry, held in Moscow in 1923.
