The master of Chinese art in a glass

An exhibition highlights skill and aesthetics, Zhang Kun reports in Shanghai.

Glass art has taken on a unique look in Boshan, a small town in East China's Shandong province, where artists are creating complex paintings inside small snuff bottles that are no larger than a person's palm.

Some of the master artists from Boshan presented their creations in Shanghai from April 22 to Tuesday in an exhibition titled Spilt Colors and Flowing Lights at the new cultural center at 52 Duolun Road that features traditional Chinese art and craft.
