A Pair of Chinese Republican Period Cinnabar Lacquer Vases and Stands C1920

A very unusual, high quality pair of Chinese square bodied and hand carved cinnabar lacquer vases.

These highly decorative pair of vases are made from cinnabar lacquer, which is a natural product taken from a tree. It is built up in thin layers to achieve the required thickness. In this case, the artist has used alternate layers of red and black lacquer, which have then been hand carved with a traditional Chinese design showing the different layered colours throughout the bold and deeply carved decoration.

The vases have a flared foot and rim, both of which are finished in patinated brass, giving extra strength to this fragile material.

The pair of vases retains their original carved hardwood stands on which they display very well.

The vases are in very good condition.

Chinese, circa 1920

Height 23cm x width 9.5cm x depth 9.5cm
