Ne'Qwa Art™ is the world's largest producer of the centuries-old tradition of painting on the inside of glass. The same meticulous techniques that captivated emperors and art connoisseurs ages ago are used to create each ornament. After all...true beauty comes from within. Known in the Mandarin language as "Ne'Qwa", the artistic tradition of reverse painting on the inside of mouth-blown glass flourished during the 17th century, when snuff bottles were valued fashion accessories in China. According to Ne'Qwa Art's co-founder and head designer Jim Sexton, "Today there are only a few artist groups, living in remote villages throughout China, who possess the skill to create Ne'Qwa Art's contemporary art objects. By bringing together the popular artwork of internationally known artists with the centuries-old skill of Chinese artisans, Ne'Qwa Art™ is committed to reviving this ancient art form. Each decorative ornament comes luxuriously packed in a hand-crafted, satin-lined, velour presentation case. In addition, each ornament is accompanied by a signed Certificate of Authenticity describing the unique art history and reverse painting process...perfect for gift giving.
