The finest examples are typically from the 18th and 19th centuries, specifically the mid- to late-Qing dynasty period, although occasional pieces from the 17th century surface in auctions. These pieces achieve their distinctive color by incorporating cinnabar, a natural mercury ore, into the lacquer, which is derived from a Sumac tree native to China.
