Paper Body Lacquer High-Foot Plate — Round

Paper Body Lacquer High-Foot Plate — Round

In the history of Chinese ritual objects, the high-foot vessel has always carried a particular gravity — elevated above the table, it transforms the ordinary act of offering into something ceremonial. This round lacquer plate carries that same bearing.

At Ø280mm with a 115mm stem, the form commands presence without demanding attention. Built from linen, paper, and natural lacquer — layered, cured, and polished entirely by hand by YQ Lacquer in Guangzhou — the surface develops a depth and warmth that only natural lacquer achieves over time. Use it as a centrepiece on a dining table, a display shelf, or as a standalone sculptural object.
