Artist at work

This local artist paints scenes inside bottles. Although such painted bottles are widely sold as souvenirs in China, this was the first time I had seen an artist doing this painstaking work, and selling the results for a very reasonable price. I particularly liked the black and white local scenes, but there were also coloured and black and white traditional scenes in bottles of all sizes.

What to pay: From about 40RMB up!
