One of the oldest arts of China — lacquerware manufacturing — covers the history of about seven thousand years. From red lacquered wooden cups of the Neolithic period through all dynastic epochs, lacquerware manufacturing has received signifi cant development and has gained an extensive scope of application. The most sophisticated technologies for working with natural lacquer made it possible to process products from 

simple “pingtu” coatings to “yunse” color painting, artistic lacquer carvings, silver and gold appliques. During the reign of Ming and Qing, development of Chinese lacquerware reached its peak. The current state of the lacquer industry is signifi cant in the global art exchange.
