The Butterfly Bauble
Paired with our newly introduced creation: The Butterfly Lamp, the bauble depicts the same artwork with delicately painted butterflies and native British birds amongst tree branches with pastel flowers bursting with life, capturing a sense of movement and weightlessness.
INSIDE PAINTING
Inside painting (also known as reverse painting) is the ancient practice of painting the inside surface of a glass object, traditionally by Buddhist monks on Chinese snuff bottles during The Chinese Qing dynasty (1644-1911). Over time, the mysterious and highly acclaimed technique lost appeal and in an attempt to ignite its popularity, the technique was applied to glass Christmas decorations. TOM MARTIN's formation in 2010 was set out with an aim to re-energise this much-loved craft for another 200 years by marrying Western design and storytelling with the ancient artisanal craft.
With the introduction of The Butterfly Lamp, we've applied inside painting on a majestic scale on the interior surface of a glass dome, creating a statement, handmade one-of-one work of art.
