Inner painted items – The origin of this craft was established during
the mid-to-late 16th century when tobacco was introduced to the Beijing court. At the time, the upper class used snuff bottles decoratively painted from the inside to store their tobacco. Snuff bottles soon became a symbol of beauty and wealth and are still valued for their exquisite craftsmanship today.
To paint the inside of the bottle, the artist must paint backward. Concentration is crucial to make precise strokes. A skilled artist may complete a simple bottle in a week while something special may take a month or more. The best craftsmen will produce only a few bottles in a year. Here’s a sample video for you to check out.
We aim to bring this craftsmanship to the world, in the form of jewelry varying in shapes and sizes. Please check out https://graceyuartstudio.com/product-category/jewelry/inner-glass-painting-jewelry/ for avaliabe inner glass painting handmade jewelry by Grace Yu Art Studio.
