Salvocat Is there any intermediate process between chased lacquer ware and the other varieties? If so, would this so-called "salvocat," be that species, or would the name only indicate a particular colour? Under this name we have met with works of a fawn colour on grounds made of mosaics or broken staff-work, on which were raised, in more decided relief, flowers, birds, and especially inscriptions very accurately written. A careful study of the work shows that the angles and edge of the chasing are less sharply defined, and the outlines of the objects less neatly drawn than in the Ti-Cheoo ware. It looks in fact more like a model cast in a mould than a piece of genuine sculpture hollowed out with the chasing tool. At the Hague there is a box " the outside of which is of salvocat and the inside of black lacquer." Salvocat seems to be of Japanese origin.
