Inside Painted Snuff Bottle: Grasses and Insects

Grasses and insects, detailed illustrations painted inside thick crystal glass bottles. To make an "inside painting", the artist must work on the inside surface of glass or crystal through the mouth of each small bottle. A long, thin brush with the tip at 90° to the handle is used. Our collections are from Hengshui city in Heibei Province. Each bottle is painstakenly painted using traditional techniques of the grand masters. Comes in a padded brocade gift box for protection. Designs may vary slightly.
