Our Story
A focused craft, carried forward since 1982.
libien.com is dedicated to inside-painted glass ornaments. Under the Li Bien name, each small world is painted by hand from within the glass, in reverse, and presented with a quieter, more considered point of view.
The name within
Li Bien begins on the inside.
Li Bien takes its name from the inside-painted tradition at the center of the collection. Each image is created through the narrow opening of a glass sphere, then viewed through the glass that protects it.
Since 1982, Li Bien has been associated with ornaments made through this distinctive approach. Today, the brand remains focused on carrying that tradition forward through seasonal editions, undated keepsakes, and selected custom work.
One defining craft

A focused collection
