Dear Tom et al.

Carved cinnabar laquer has always been a difficult subject for me. The bright side of buying non-genuine piece is that it goes towards tuition fees ("Rebbe Gelt", as Joey mentioned a while ago).

Just for the sake of clarity, I want to add that this picture (with the petals) was not taken from my bottle but copied from the article on this website www.realorrepro.com/article/cinnabar

I am confused about the acetone test. In the mentioned article the author states that "genuine lacquer will discolor the swab" (moistened with fingernail polish remover).

So does it discolour genuine lacquer or doesn't?
