Label with object reads as follows, "Inner Views/ We combine the masterful photography of Geri Dibiase with the ancient art form of Eglomise to bring you these very beautiful and unique glass ornaments. Eglomise is an art form started in China in the early 1800's. Painters using small curved brushes insert the brushes into the small hole at the top of the blown glass ornament to recreate images in the inside of the glass. Each piece is hand-crafted to create items that can be treasured for generations to come."Made/Created
