Mid-20th Century Chinese Hand Carved Cinnabar Vase
About the Item
This vase was made during the Mid-20th Century in Beijing. It is very unique with intricate carving works of landscaping and characters. The workmanship is superb. It is very rare that there is no too much similar vases in existence, probably because it was too labour-intensive even for the court to mass produce.
Lacquer is the sap of a tree (Rhus vernicifera) that grows in East Asia. It was tapped, filtered and mixed with cinnabar to produce a red color. The lacquer worker would have applied one coat of lacquer to the wooden core of this table and added another when the previous one had dried completely. Once a sufficient thickness was achieved the lacquer worker could start carving. In this case it is reckoned that 100 coats of lacquer had been built up in order to carve the dense design of landscaping and characters. The drying process could not be hurried. Allowing one day for one coat to dry, which is the minimum, the drying process alone would have taken at least more than 100 days. So to complete finish this vase could take years of works.
The overall condition are excellent - hand-crafted with exquisite detail. Minor blemishes due to age but definitely quality workmanship you don't find anymore today!
