Cinnabar lacquer carving is a centuries-old Chinese decorative art form, achieved by applying numerous layers of lacquer (historically pigmented with cinnabar) and then hand-carving elaborate designs. By the mid-20th century, such ashtrays and decorative wares were produced for export markets, combining traditional craftsmanship with modern functional forms.
