This elegant vintage Chinese vase and plate set showcases the intricate beauty of lacquer and brass. The vase and plate are both adorned with stunning cinnabar designs, making them a perfect addition to any collector's shelf. The primary material used in the creation of these pieces is brass, which adds to their durability and longevity.

This is a stunning vase made of cinnabar lacquer, which is the resin from the lacquer tree. Usually, this Chinese art form used only red lacquer, but this piece has two colors: red and black. The vase has many layers of lacquer, and the artist carved through them with hand chisels. The red layers have a traditional Chinese geometric pattern, and the black layers have a realistic floral design with art nouveau curves. The black and red colors create a striking contrast and a high relief effect. 

The region of origin for this circa mid 20th century exquisite set is China, adding to its cultural significance. Perfect for display or use, this set is a unique and valuable addition to any collection.
