Inside painting is a unique Chinese craft that originated in the Hengshui region of what is now Hebei Province, north China. To write on the interior surface of a tiny snuff bottle requires exceptional skills in calligraphy and painting, with artists using specially designed brushes and writing in reverse. For some classic pieces, it's impossible to read the characters without a magnifying glass.
