Here are some more information for Chinese Porcelain Snuff:
The tools needed for painting in reverse on glass are really very simple and limited. The initial cost of the materials can be shaved down to a minimum if you prefer to start out slow. I'll make a list of things you'll need, and I would be willing to guess that you already have at least half, if not most of them somewhere around the house.
1) A small to medium table to work on. It can be as simple as 2 saw horses with short pine planks over the top.
2) A pane of glass with a frame that fits. If you don't mind starting with small paintings, The local dollar store should have 8" x 10" frames.
3) A large brush, 1" to 3" wide.
4) Maybe 2 small round brushes, a size 0 and a size 2
5) manicure sticks, tooth picks, or wooden barbeque skewers
6) Q-Tips
7) A flat pallet knife for mixing paints, (A putty knife would do in a pinch)
Clean styrofoam plates or trays, The plastic lids to coffee cans are great for this, too.
9) masking tape
10) Razor blade or a utility knife
11) Paint. It does not matter whether the paint is water based, acrylic, or oil paint. It only needs
to adhere to the glass, and any of these will.
12) Paint thinner, it's very inexpensive, and you shouldn't even need a full quart for one painting.
13) A few small clean rags.
Now when you think about it, this is really not a lot of investment. Beyond this small list of coarse, a subject for the painting is needed, but that is where your imagination is going to kick in. This is where the fun starts! After you do a few paintings, you're naturally going to want to upgrade your tools. If the one gallon cans of left over house paint made a big mess, you may decide to go purchase the small tubes of paint, available in art supply stores. I paint with oils, so I also need varnish to thin my paints with. You may need more brushes if you're going to continue reverse glass painting. From my own experience of 8 years of reverse glass painting, I can safely say that with time, they do get better. So, I wish you the best of luck! Ready, set, start painting!

The Asian Antiques Shop Announces Great Prices on Asian Antiques
Asian antiques have always been of interest to collectors and investors. Recently, however, there has been a dramatic increase in interest in these rare collectibles.
While the world is experiencing an economic crisis, the Chinese in China having become wealthier and very keen to collect, or invest in, fine examples of their own heritage. The result is a growth of new antique auction houses all over China (many of these sell huge numbers of antiques, thousands at each auction, so much more than is normal in Europe or America). But added to this many of the Chinese outside China has become extremely wealthy too and they have added to this thriving demand for the scarcest significant Asian antiques whenever offered worldwide. We are now seeing record setting prices at the major auction houses for Chinese contemporary art.
The antique auction rooms have reported, that so far, they continue to be very busy. There has always been and probably always will be, new collectors interested in owning high caliber Asian works of art. Asian antiques have done particularly well, as there are such limited numbers of rare quality items available and such a very large growing demand.
The Internet too has been partly responsible for creating an even greater interest, introducing new collectors, or investors, from countries such as China, Japan, and India. It is still possible, however, to find good deals and reasonably priced Chinese and other Asian antiques online at the Asian Antique Shop at http://www.asianantiquebargains.com.
