Our snuff bottles are topped with gemstone grade agate lids and 100% hand painted from within. The Chinese art of églomisé uses a very thin bamboo brush with a few strands of hair to apply watercolor on the inside walls of the blank glass bottle depicting a pair of cranes on both sides, symbol of good health and long life.
We want to emphasize that our bottles are painted free hand, not "painting over prints" or decals which are the common practice on bottles this size. These are genuine, hand painted works of art. Very limited quantity with each one slightly different due to its hand painted nature. Complimentary Box. less
