Classic Antique Ford Truck - Inside Hand Painted Snuff Bottle Seal Signed on 2040-parts.com
Lisbon, Ohio, US
Up for auction is a beautiful inside hand painted Chinese snuff bottle. Hand painted on the inside of the bottle. Measuring 3.5 inches tall. Complete with a hand carved spoon attached to the inside removable agate stone top. The bottle comes from my Uncles private estate collection and were special ordered by the him. Inside painted or sometimes called reverse painted bottles are beautiful masterpieces that are painstakingly done inside the bottle through the small opening at the top of the bottle. The artist takes a fine sliver of bamboo, used as a paint brush, bends one end and applies the color of paint needed at that time. They then insert the bamboo sliver into the top of the bottle and paints on the glass inside the bottle. Hours and sometimes days go into a single painting. One mistake and the bottle is destroyed. The artwork is incredible to say the least. Please note that the bottle is not meant to hold anything liquid due to the fact that the painting might be damaged if it would come into contact with other matter. --- sj

New Honda Civic launch delayed, but we do get new photos & video
Sat, 05 Nov 2011Honda Civic gets delayed by flooding in Thailand The 2012 Honda Civic will be built in the UK. But that hasn’t stopped production for cars being prepared for the UK and Europe launch from being delayed by the floods in Thailand. It’s an indication of how, despite car makers’ efforts to use a local supply chain, car manufacturing is far more dependent on a world-wide supply chain than we probably realise.
First MINI Coupé rolls off the production line
Mon, 11 Jul 2011MINI Coupe - first production car rolls out at Cowley We’ve only recently had the reveal of the new MINI Coupe – well, the production car reveal, that is. We had the first reveal of the MINI Coupe Concept nearly two years ago and, despite the production MINI Coupe looking almost exactly the same as the concept, MINI managed to do the production reveal in two stages – one with swirly disguise round the rump followed by a full reveal a week or three later. Still, all the pre-production marketing flim-flam out of the way, MINI are getting down to actually making the car that promises to be the most fun (modern) MINI so far, and the very first MINI Coupe has now rolled off the production line at Cowley – cue PR opportunity.
Jaguar XF Diesel S Bares its Claws
Mon, 29 Dec 2008Jaguar XF Diesel S - more power, less fuel We all know how many problems the world’s car makers are having at the moment, and unless central banks ensure normal lending resumes very quickly we’ll all be in a big hole without a shovel. But when you look at what some of the best car manufacturers now have to offer we should be queueing at their door, and finance companies should be bending over backwards to lend. We’ve seen some great new models, and updates to existing models, come along in the last couple of months since the credit crunch has really started to bite.
