<p>[QUOTE="Walter901, post: 1120888, member: 7373"]I picked up this small vase the other day. As i'm quite new to the chinese technique of lacquer and cinnebar i was wondering if somebody can help me determine the age of it or if there are any tricks I can do to give an estimate ? What i've seen the jar it'self is of copper. As it's turning a bit blue on the top its definitely not fresh out of the shop. The vase does not have any marks. Also I do not see any bubbles or holes as seen on molds. The vase is quite dark red. In some pictures it shows up more as an orange but I think this is because of the camera/light. Any help is useful ! Thanks ! [ATTACH=full]211385[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]211386[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]211387[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]211388[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
