Features: From the first invention of lacquerware in China to the Han Dynasty, it has undergone a long and significant development spanning five thousand years. The bronze ware of the Han Dynasty had declined, and porcelain had not yet taken the stage in history. On the foundation of the prosperous national strength of the Han Dynasty, lacquerware stood out as a lone branch, propelling the lacquer craftsmanship of the Han Dynasty to the peak of Chinese lacquerware development, shining like the midday sun, brilliant and glorious! This volume selects two hundred and ninety exquisite lacquerware treasures from the Han Dynasty from various cultural relic collection units across the country, featuring three hundred and thirty-two color illustrations. At the beginning of the volume is a comprehensive discussion on Han Dynasty lacquer art craft, followed by detailed illustrations and explanations of the lacquerware in the Han Dynasty. This volume is currently the most comprehensive and systematic exquisite atlas of Han Dynasty lacquerware in China and abroad.
