The special glow of this vase, which is characteristic of Laque Line pieces, derives from the internally hand-applied lacquer technique that uses a mix of colors and foil, a process that gives depth to the piece. The piece shimmer, with purple, blue, green, gold, rust, rose, and other colors skillfully merged to create a dynamic multi-colored effect.
