HMNS Butterfly Collage Painted Glass Ornament & Gift Box

Painted from the inside of the glass ball, this ornament continues an ancient artform prized by collectors. The artist, choosing from a selection of miniature curved and bent-shafted brushes, hand paints every minute detail on the inside on the hand-blown glass ornament. In painstaking fashion, the brush is repeatedly inserted through the top opening of the glass, initially to outline the design followed by detailed application of the colors one by one. The entire hand-painting process for each piece requires up to two days. No two pieces are ever identical. This hand-painted glass ornament is a keepsake to be treasured from generation to generation.
