<p>[QUOTE="moreotherstuff, post: 142228, member: 56"]I think it's cinnabar lacquer and it looks to me like it might be old, but that doesn't mean much. I think lacquer is usually applied over wood. It does look very nice and sometimes clear lacquers were used that allowed the wood grain to show. Can't tell the source but an idle guess would be that Japan or Korea rather than China.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
