Can Peppa Pig help revive traditional Chinese inner-painting industry?
Chinese snuff bottles are called ‘bottles painted by ghosts’. All the delicate designs are carefully painted on the inside of a small bottle. Snuff bottles have been used to hold smokeless tobacco since the 17th century, but the inner-painting industry is in danger of disappearing. Artists are trying to revive it by using popular culture, including children’s cartoon character Peppa Pig.
