Synopsis
This books deals, for the most part, with lacquerwares that were made from the Yuan dynasty onwards. Not only was that dynasty rich in new and long-lasting techniques, such as carving, inlaying with mother-of-pearl, and infilling incised decoration with gold, but for the earlier periods the material surviving is much more scanty. However, fine pieces from the Han, Tang, and Sung dynasties are illustrated and discussed, and the first products from as far back as the Shang dynasties are identified.
