Click to display in larger size Lacquer Thread Sculpture is an ancient art. In ancient times, the lacquer threads created patterns on deity figures. Today, it is more popular for decorating bowls, vases, and various table settings.
The FuSan Lacquer Thread Sculpture shop, located on FuXingMenNei Street offers a large selection of products from the best place for Lacquer Thread Sculptures, city of Xia Men. The dominant theme here is the imperial dragon, though you will also find other designs like flowers and birds.
I saw a red porcelain vase decorated with two gold-plated dragons. The vase featured a silhouette of a plump lady, and the dragons were made with lacquer threads. In ancient times, vases like this one would only be seen in the palace in old days. But today, you can get it for RMB 3000.
There¡¯s also a celadon jar modeled finely decorated with a dragon and a phoenix, symbols of the emperor and the empress. A slight crack by the handle gives the jar an antique feel. The jar cost RMB 4500.
I also found other interesting wares. There¡¯s a celadon dish decorated with Peking opera masks, white porcelain jar with auspicious animal sculptures, and a replica of the famous Nine-Dragon Wall in the Forbidden City.
The manager speaks a little English. Communication shouldn¡¯t be a problem.
