The fine art of eglomise, or Internally Painted Glass, is an ancient Chinese tradition that has yet to be replaced with anything nearly as exquisite. A skilled artist pays great attention to detail to hand paint each piece of glass individually, so no two pieces are ever the same. Each of the eglomise pieces carried by Mrs. Lin's Kitchen is truly a masterpiece.

Examples include:

* The Flaming Floral Glass Ornament. An ideal holiday or birthday gift, this glass ball with pink, red, blue, and yellow flowers is like a ball of fire.
* Floating Gold Fish Glass Ornament. Brought to life with superb technique, this ornament features two goldfish swimming in light blue water.
* Much, much more! Find your dragon ornament, three cranes ornament, or radko panda bear ornament here.

Frequently referred to as ornaments, eglomise is far more complex than the orbs with which you decorate a Christmas tree. Eglomise is a meticulous art that dates back to the 18th century. The paintings are done inside of the glass, requiring every stroke to be done in reverse, with shadows, highlights, and details to be done first.
