lacquerware

There are two main types of lacquerware in Beijing. First, lacquer carving, which has a long history and matured in the 14th century AD, takes copper as the tire and is lined with enamel, with gold plating at the mouth. The tire needs to be painted with red, green, yellow and other colors, and some need to be painted with hundreds of layers. Only after the paint is dried in the shade can it be carved, and the carving methods are divided into relief and engraving. The other is gold lacquer inlay, which includes colored lacquer hook gold, mother-of-pearl inlay, gold and silver level off, ash carving and lacquer painting. Both kinds of lacquerware are bejeweled, simple and calm, without losing the royal atmosphere, and are exquisite crafts with a strong Beijing flavor.
