Inner Beauty 2011071 Season of Joy Ornament, 6-inch Length

Our story dates to the time of ancient China and the meticulous artisans that created intricate paintings on the inside of glass snuff bottles. Capturing images from folklore, traditions and the beauty around them, each individual work of art was created by hand inside of a glass vessel. These ancient techniques have been passed down, generation to generation, to a small number of trained artists that continue their beautiful work today. Inner Beauty gifts are all handmade and no two pieces are exactly alike. These handmade touches provide character to each of our reverse hand-painted works of art.
