CINNABAR LACQUER VASE CARVED WITH BLACK & RED FLOWERS <p>
An attractive cinnabar lacquer vase carved through many layers of lacquer, the resin of the lacquer tree. Most frequently, this art form was done in China with only one color of lacquer, usually red. <p>In this decorative piece, the ground layers are red, and the top layers are black, stikingly contrasting the red ground in high relief. The red layers are carved in a classic Chinese geometric design, while the black layers are beautifully carved using hand chisels by the artist in realistic floral and stylized art nouveau geometric curves. There is a brass rim, with blue interior counter enameling, also visible on the base. Condition is excellent, with no damages. Layers of lacquer are visible in this lovely vase with a magnifying glass, unlike plastic reproductions of cinnabar. Age is circa mid-20th century, height is 6.5", and diameter is 3.25" at its shoulder.
