Chinese Hand-Painted Glass Bottle

Item Number: 150
Time Left: CLOSED



Description
Enjoy the unique Chinese artwork of hand-painting bottles by skilled artist using special narrow brushes and pointed sticks. The bottle begins as a solid block of fine crystal glass and is carefully hollowed out on the inside then delicately shaped on the outside. The painting of the bottle begins when the artist inserts a brush into the bottle and carefully creates an outline of the image. The artist then begins the more difficult step of slowly filling in the colors. The entire hand-painted process requires several days and the result is a beautiful and unique collectible.
