Dear Makere,

     Good news / Bad news.

Good news: you posted photos; you've beaten me. How did you figure it out? I've not yet succeeded.  Embarrassed

Bad news: the cinnabar lacquer is modern and not very good, and mainly resin, covered by a thin layer of lacquer. Ask Giovanni; he got stung by one similar. The truth is, almost all of us have bought a similar bottle when starting.
  Don't get discouraged. It is a learning curve.
Best,
 Joey
