Exquisite, intricately carved Cinnabar Dragon Vase on the outside with high polish lacquer-ware on the inside. It comes complete with a wood stand.
Carving a cinnabar lacquer piece was a very delicate process, and could take the artist many years to complete. Care was needed, since a slip could require filling with many new layers of lacquer or could necessitate a complete re-do of the entire project. Once the carving was finished, another layer of lacquer would be added to seal the carving. Clear lacquer with no cinnabar was often used in this final step to keep the piece from spreading mercury to the skin. This was especially important for jewelry pieces.
