This carving process has been practiced in China for centuries. Multi layers of Cinnabar Lacquer are applied to a metal item which can take up to 1/2 a year to dry. Only after it's dry can the ornate carving can begin. (5 years and 2784 days ago)

hehehe, we used to carry the Burnt Cinnabar, where the carving down would reveal a black surface beneath the red.. totally freaky and AWESOME beauty. It's wonderful to see it again.. (when the economy started to fail we put it on sale, and one person came in and bought the whole collection.. sigh, I miss it ) Great capture

The vase is pretty simple compared to your description. Sorry they're gone.
