Beautiful, intricately carved Cinnabar Dragon Vase on the outside with high polish lacquer-ware on the inside. It comes complete with a wood stand.
The production of a Cinnabar lacquer piece is a fascinating and time consuming process. First, the base work was produced, whether it was a vase or a brooch. Next, layer after layer of cinnabar lacquer was applied. Often layers would alternate in color to achieve a multicolor effect in the design, and some pieces would feature more than 300 coats of lacquer. Each layer would have to dry before a new one was applied, so some pieces could take almost half a year or longer to prepare. Once the lacquer layers reach the correct depth, the carving process could begin.
