The snuff bottle 有关鼻烟壶
        In the late of Ming Dynasty, the snuff came to China, so the snuff bottles developed gradually. The skill made the snuff bottle very flourishing in the Qing Dynasty. The inside painting snuff bottle appeared in the Year of Emperor Jia qing. This kind of inside painting skill developed, and now it becomes consummate.  
     明朝末年，随着鼻烟的传入中国，鼻烟壶渐渐兴起。清朝时期，烟壶工艺极为兴盛。嘉庆年间开始出现内画鼻烟壶。发展至今，内画技艺已十分精湛。
        Inner snuff bottle painting is a unique form of art.

Inserting a specially designed slender pen with a bend at the tip through the neck, an accomplished artist working in the tight space of the bottle cavity is able to etch vivid designs and calligraphy onto the inner surface of the bottle. The result is an array of exquisite miniatures of landscapes, still life, portraits and calligraphy that delight many collectors.
        内画鼻烟壶是一种独特的艺术。插入一支特别设计颈部弯屈的细长形笔，由一位多才多艺的艺术家，在狭小的瓶腔空间里，将鲜明的设计和书法蚀刻在瓶子的内部。其成品是一个部署着精致的袖珍风景，静物，肖像和书法，为许多收藏家所喜爱。
