Xi'an Lacquerware

　　The lacquerware produced by Xi'an Special Arts and Crafts Factory features a rich variety of materials, including famous flowers and plants, auspicious birds and cranes, as well as characters from stories such as "The Heavenly Maid Scattering Flowers" and "Dream of the Red Chamber." The designs are bright and generous, with lifelike, vivid, and dynamic images that have a strong sense of three-dimensionality. The overall effect is elegant, classic, luxurious, and magnificent. Xi'an lacquerware products mainly include screens, tables, cabinets, etc., making them ideal for decorating studies and living rooms. They are highly sought-after as home décor items. Xi'an lacquerware mainly comes in varieties such as mother-of-pearl inlay and silver-coated lacquer. Mother-of-pearl inlaid screens such as "Princess Wencheng," flat mother-of-pearl lacquer fruit boxes like "Polo Scene," "Small Screen," and "Eight Scenic Spots of Chang'an" are particularly favored by tourists.
