<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 1648244, member: 2844&quot;]Technically speaking cinnabar is the name of crystallized mercuric sulphide, which is orange to red. Cinnabar lacquer is lacquer which is made orange to brownish red using cinnabar. </p><p>Cinnabar is toxic, and no longer used. Most &#039;cinnabar lacquer&#039; you see nowadays is not actually lacquer.</p><p>As evelyb said, you can only tell if these two lovelies are cinnabar lacquer if you see layering of the lacquer. You also need to see signs of handcarving.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
