Vintage Mercedes Car Automobile - 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. --- sg

New MG: Is this the MG2?
Mon, 22 Feb 2010Is this a new mini MG - the MG2? Despite it looking at one point last year as if MG – certainly in the UK – was close to biting the dust, we now know that the SAIC Roewe 550 will be made in the UK and sold throughout Europe as the MG6 in hatchback form and the MG5 as a saloon. But now we’re getting news from China that there is a mini MG in the pipeline – the MG2 – and that this car will be turning up as soon as the Beijing Motor Show as an MG and not – as is usual for SAIC – as a Roewe which then spawns an MG.
