Lovett100 Centennial Ornament

Hand-Painted glass ornaments are created using original artwork created by Kitty Keller. Each ornament is hand-painted on the inside of the glass ball, a process that originated in China in the 1600’s. The art of hand-painting the inside of glass objects began centuries ago in high end “snuff bottles”, used to store chewing tobacco.

The process includes approximately 4 steps:

• The ornaments are made from hand blown glass, creating a clear glass ornament
• The artisan paints a sketch of the design, using a fine tip brush. The complete design pattern is outlined inside the ball.
• The artisan then fills in the sketch with colors as indicated on the design.
• The last step is to fill in the solid background color.
