Large Red Lacquered Floor Vase

This is a large, floor-standing vase, featuring a rich, deep red, almost burgundy color with a high-gloss, lacquered finish. The vase has a classic amphora-like silhouette, with a narrow base that flares gently outwards before curving back inwards to define a bulbous body. The body then tapers gracefully towards a slightly constricted neck, culminating in a flared rim or lip. The reflective surface of the lacquer shows some mottling and variations in tone, suggesting either an intentional design element to mimic a hammered or textured surface beneath the lacquer, or perhaps subtle variations in the application of the finish. The material appears to be a lightweight substrate, possibly wood or a composite material, given its size and general appearance, rather than ceramic or glass which would typically be much heavier for this scale. There are no visible chips, cracks, or significant abrasions on the surface, indicating good overall condition. The high sheen of the lacquer enhances its decorative appeal, making it a prominent accent piece. Its size suggests it is intended to rest directly on the floor, possibly holding tall dried arrangements or simply acting as a standalone sculptural element. The manufacturing details, such as maker's marks or signatures, are not visible from the provided image. The style suggests it could be contemporary or a modern classic, likely from the late 20th or early 21st century, focusing on decorative impact through color and form. The craftsmanship appears to be a good commercial quality, with a smooth, even finish across most of its surface.
