I believe they are carved. from wood.

@@rfn74 Thank you, it can't be wood, the paint is completely red, inside too, we need photos from the factory 😀

@@backback1137 This is from online ; Common substrates used for lacquer in Japan are the wood of the hinoki (Japanese cypress) tree, the elm, and quince trees. Metal was often used as a base for lacquer, especially in armor. Frequently an organic layer was used between lacquer and metal, making the finished object particularly sensitive to fluctuations in relative humidity. A variety of other substrates known include, bamboo, fabric, paper, leather (shipi, shaped rawhide used in Japan), and ceramics (only in the earliest known examples (3000 - 2000 BCE, and in the last 100 years used only as a repair method). Organics, such as gourds, ivory, bone, tortoise-shell, horn and shell were incorporated as decorations (Webb 2000).

@@backback1137 In addition to thin wood, metal and leather (all mentioned in the comment below)​ there is also a kind of substrate where the a layer of ash mixed with lacquer is built up and then worked to the desired shape. Once finished it is then further refined and given several coats of lacquer. This technique is called "dui hong" (opposite - red). It approximates the look and feel of carved lacquer but is a faster technique. Not sure if this occurred in Japan as well or perhaps only in China. I included a link to an example from Bonhams in the comment below to RN if you want to have a look. :)

Correct - thank you for pointing this out.

I think you can get it Just don't go rob him

Jake W How much ? what is the size ?

Technically, yes and no it's made from mercury sulfate it deteriorates over time from what I read. But you can use it for jewlery and pottery as far as I'm aware atleast
