CHINESE lacquer ware was first favented by the Shen Shao Lang. Kee family, of Foochow, in the Ch'ieng Lung Dynasty. Models are first made of clay and sub- sequently covered with a layer of fine silk, and lacquer. Each layer takes from three weeks to two months to dry, and as many as thirty Jayers are frequently employ. ed on each piece. The above screen took nearly five years to complete, and is said to be the finest example of the work ever made. Descendants of the original family made this screen.
