Concentration is crucial to make precise strokes. A skilled artist may complete a simple bottle in a week while something special may take a month or more. The best craftsmen may produce only a few bottles in a year. This particular piece is a one of kind, created by the eldest member a fourth generation family of artists that are one of the last families in China that create such a magnificent artistry. This piece contains a plastic inner liner to protect the inner painting.
