清晚期 剔紅開光山水紋漆瓶|Vase with peony scroll and landscape panels

Unknown

19th century · Carved red lacquer · Asian Art

The shape of this vase is common in porcelain but unusual in carved lacquer. Its form reflects the experimentation and exchange that characterized the decorative arts in China in the eighteenth century. Unlike most carved lacquer objects, which have a wood substructure, this heavy vessel probably has a support of metal, such as brass or copper.
