<p>[QUOTE="Jeff Drum, post: 321735, member: 6444"]No one mentioned this is cinnabar on brass, and not on wood. AFAIK (and I could certainly be wrong), the earlier cinnabar was all on wood. Does anyone know when brass was being used as a base? BTW, there isn't a whole lot of tarnish on the brass, which looks to have never been cleaned, which could put the date more into the 20th century (Republic period) which I believe is also when they were more likely to add the Qing signature to the bottom for tourists: <a href="https://www.realorrepro.com/article/Cinnabar" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.realorrepro.com/article/Cinnabar" rel="nofollow">https://www.realorrepro.com/article/Cinnabar</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
