"“剔紅”又稱為“雕紅漆”或“紅雕漆”，是中國漆器工藝的一種，此技法成熟於宋元時期，發展於明清兩代。常以木灰為胎，在胎骨上層層髹紅漆，少則幾十層、多達上百層，待半幹時描上畫稿，然後再雕刻花紋。花紋隱起、華美富麗。形制有圓盒、長方盒、圓盤、八方盤、葵瓣盤、樽等，以盤、盒居多。裝飾圖案有花卉、山水、人物和花鳥等。明曹昭《格古要論·古漆器論·剔紅》有雲：“剔紅器皿無新舊，但看似厚色鮮紅潤堅重者為好，剔劍環香草者尤佳。” 此牡丹紋大盤為圓形木胎，漫淺式，圈足。盤內外皆朱漆素地上雕牡丹花紋，花大葉肥，刀法圓熟，藏鋒不露，質樸有力，流暢的線條讓大盤更加多了富貴之氣。盤背後邊緣也為牡丹錦花，圈足內髹黑漆。如此大件作品在元代漆器中能屆指稱其為傑作。""可參考香港佳士得 2017年5月 拍品號3229 成交價625,000港幣。"
