Description
In Chinese, the phrase "Li Bien" means "inside." The Li Bien paperweight showcases the age-old skill of inside painting. Through a hole on bottom of the paperweight, the artist repeatedly inserts a miniature brush to paint the intricate artwork. The process requires both precision and forethought since the artist is forced to work backwards. The resulting paperweight is a beautiful one-of-a-kind keepsake inspired by ancient Chinese paintings and motifs. Condition: Very good pre-owned condition. Light wear from age and typical use. No chips or cracks in glass. Bottom is covered in black foam.
