Ne'Qua Art
Known in the Mandarin language as
“Ne’Qwa,” the artistic tradition of reverse painting on the inside of
mouth-blown glass flourished during the 17th century, when snuff
bottles were valued fashion accessories in China.
According to Ne’Qwa Art’s co-founder
and head designer Jim Sexton, “Today there are only a few artist
groups, living in remote villages throughout China, who possess the
skill to create Ne’Qwa Art’s contemporary art objects. By bringing
together the popular artwork of internationally known artists with the
centuries-old skill of Chinese artisans, Ne’Qwa Art is committed to
reviving this ancient art form.”
