Snuff Bottles Four Zodiac Animals Reverse Painted

About the Item

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 manifesting a different image on each side. This special collection features 4 bottles with zodiac animals of tiger, goat, dog and rabbit. Giving a gift with the receiver's zodiac sign or owing a sign with ones own zodiac animal is believed to bring stability and good luck. Delicate depiction and beautiful colors. We want to emphasize that our bottles are painted free hand, not "painting over prints" or stickers/decals which are the common practice for bottles this size. These are genuine, hand painted works of art. Comes with individual boxes.
