This exquisite hand painted glass ornament is created by skilled artisans using special narrow brushes and pointed sticks. The painting of the ornament begins when the artist first inserts a brush into the globe and carefully creates an outline of the butterfly. The artist then begins the more difficult step of filling in the colors. The entire hand painted process requires several days and the result is a beautiful and unique collectible. This painting technique is known as reverse glass painting and is an art form found throughout Asia.
As you would expect from handcrafted art, no two ornaments are exactly alike. Your ornament will arrive in a padded satin lined presentation box and includes a descriptive insert describing the reverse glass painting art form.
For added flexibility, add the optional desktop display stand to transform your beautiful butterfly ornament from a seasonal Christmas time display to an unlimited year round display. The handsome antique brass and hardwood base provides a fitting display for your elegant ornament. Great for desktop viewing or nestled amongst the treasures in your curio cabinet.
