A Fine Chinese Carved Cinnabar Red and Black Lacquer Jar and Cover, Circa 1920

This superb Chinese jar and cover dates to circa 1920. It is made from red cinnabar lacquer overlaid in black. The foot and rims of the jar and cover have brass collar mounts for added strength and durability. This highly decorative example is a rare colour combination as these interesting pieces are often red over black. This example is beautifully hand carved with an ornate flower and scrolling foliate designs which are deeply carved and pierced through the black layer to show the red lacquer below which is also carved with fine detailing. The main decoration is in three panels. One on top of the lid and the others on the front and back of the jar. Each is a traditional Chinese landscape with rocky mountains, trees, and lakes with ornate bridges, buildings and various figures. This very pleasing example is in good original condition with no restoration or repairs. Chinese circa 1920
