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

Goodwood Festival of Speed 2012 in photos and on video
Sun, 01 Jul 2012Lots of photos of the action at the Goodwood Festival of Speed 2012 and video of almost every supercar on show. This weekend has seen the Goodwood Festival of Speed weave its petrolhead goodness for the assembled throngs on the south coast, so we thought, especially for those that didn’t make it to car heaven, we should give you a taste of what you missed. So we have a big gallery of photos (and we’ll add more as they come in) of everything from classic cars to supercars.
Fiat Doblo 2010 – the details
Mon, 22 Mar 2010The Fiat Doblo 2010 goes on sale this month Fiat’s Postman Pat-mobile – the Fiat Doblo – has been with us for a decade, in which time Fiat have managed to shift an impressive 1 million units. Which ain’t bad for an ugly box on wheels that has all the aesthetic joy of a Monk Fish. But just like the Monk Fish, the real deal is at the back.

Today it’s the turn of Mercedes with a video tease for the 2012 Mercedes A-Class, coupled with a competition too (although that seems to be just for Germany).
