Painting on glass
Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Anything painted
There were so many possibilities with this week’s challenge! It was all a bit daunting… until I remembered a museum exhibit I saw very recently. I was visiting the Folsom History Museum (for the first time, I’m slightly embarrassed to admit), and among all the wonderful items I saw there, these leapt out at me in the small Chinese history display.
I didn’t see an information card, and I was unfortunately pressed for time and so I wasn’t able to ask the volunteer if she could tell me about them. I’m so happy I got a good photo. I could gaze at these all day long.
By the way, I am planning on going back to the museum to see their special exhibit called Folsom’s Historic Places: An Insider’s Look (November 21- January 17). Can’t wait!

They are amazing bottles Christine 🙂
They really are, aren’t they? I’ve done a quick Google search, and now I’m thinking they may be snuff bottles, as described here: http://www.collectorsweekly.com/articles/an-interview-with-chinese-snuff-bottle-collector-vincent-fausone-jr/
That’s excellent Cristina, thank you for the link 🙂
How very beautiful. 😀
Thanks!
