Using metal foil and exceptional engraving skills, artisans can craft a silky sheen on lacquerware. After carving delicate patterns into the metal foil, they employ specially designed engraving needles to draw thread-like lines. These flowing lines imbue the metal foil with a mesmerizing interplay of light and shadow. Each stroke is meticulously controlled for depth and thickness, achieving a harmonious balance of texture and luster. This remarkable technique is a hallmark of Chengdu lacquerware art, which was recognized as a national intangible cultural heritage in 2006.
