[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9462668, member: 2844"]Definitely 20th century molded resin, no doubt about it. Made to look like carved lacquer. Looks like the original colour was ivory. Resin that is ivory coloured is also known as ivorine. It was coated, maybe to resemble dark cinnabar lacquer. Although ivorine and similar resin pieces can have a bit of value, yours is damaged. I am sorry to say that means any value has gone. Below is an ivorine vase, I think yours would have looked something like this originally: [ATTACH=full]440472[/ATTACH] [URL]https://www.etsy.com/listing/1125675541/vintage-white-cinnabar-vasehandvarced[/URL] The seller suggests it is white cinnabar, which it clearly isn't. Blobs and bubble holes all over the vase. They have no right calling themselves Pro.[/QUOTE]
