Chinese Lacquerware in The National Museum of Denmark

The Danish National Museum's collection of lacquer works from East Asia comprises some 350 works, more than half of which come from China. This book presents the museum's collection to researchers and interested members of the public. The items in the collection are fully illustrated in color. Chronologically, the collection covers the period from the end of the 14th century to the middle of the 20th century. It consists chiefly of red carved lacquerware (tihong), but also contains many examples of lacquer work made using other techniques.
