Specialist note

'One of the most beautiful qualities of lacquer is the depth of its material; the gaze, not stopping on the polished aspect of the surface, penetrates within the thickness of the superimposed layers where plays, by transparency, the light without ever being reflected truly'.

– Félix Marcilhac, Jean Dunand: Vie et Œuvre, Paris, 1991, p. 175
