    Ne'Qwa artists create every ornament using a reverse painting technique which was developed in the 17th century and has been passed down through the generations. 

Ne'Qwa's skilled artisans go through the small opening in the top of the mouth blown glass ornament and use a delicate brush

stroke to hand-paint the inside.  From outlining to shading to color application, all work is painstakingly done in freehand. 

An artist signature and the Ne'Qwa logo etched into the glass authenticates each ornament as an original hand-painted piece of art

Pick up any hand-painted, blown glass design from Ne’Qwa Art™ and you will be holding an amazing art form. The same meticulous hand-painting techniques that captivated emperors and art connoisseurs in centuries past go into each Ne’Qwa Art decorative accessory today.

In Mandarin, “ne’qwa” describes this centuries-old artistic tradition of painting on the inside of glass. Now, Ne’Qwa Art™ brings this art tradition to a new level with the addition of licensed art from a variety of renowned artists. 

To ensure the survival of this ancient art form, Ne’Qwa Art™ develops new artists through its own art school in China. After completing years of training, artisans working in Ne’Qwa Art’s wholly owned manufacturing facility follow artistic traditions passed down from generation to generation.
