This box has a wall thickness of about one millimeter, and has a thin and lightweight body. It is made using the technique of clamping the tire. Unlike wood tires, sandwich tires are made by pasting several layers of cloth together with paint or putty, also known as “unbound tires,” which have the characteristics of being solid and lightweight. Emperor Qianlong praised it in his poem: “Gather the flowers like chrysanthemums, each one is lighter than a flower. The handle is unconscious at first, reflecting the heart like affection.”; In another poem praising the “Imitation of Yongle’s Vermilion Lacquer Chrysanthemum Flower Plate”, it is said that “The craftsmanship of the painting under Wu is incomparable, and the imitation is even better than the old one. The bodiless one uses wood and tin, and the finished one is difficult to polish and polish!” In the “Interpretation of the Painting Record”, it is stated that the color of the red lacquer varies depending on the painting season: the red lacquer made in spring and summer is bright and bright, while the color made in autumn is darker. The amount of silver and ink content also affects the brightness of the color. From this perspective, the bright color of this vermilion lacquered box may have been made in spring, or it may be related to the high content of silver and ink< According to the records of the Manufacturing Office, after the forty second year of Qianlong's reign, chrysanthemum petal boxes were made many times following the practice of bodiless vermilion lacquer chrysanthemum petal plates, all of which were undertaken by Suzhou Weaving. After completion, they could either be taken to the Maoqin Palace to engrave the imperial poem "Chanting the vermilion lacquer chrysanthemum box", or sent directly to important palaces such as Chunhua Pavilion, Ningshou Palace, Huafang Zhai, Jingqing Zhai, Leshou Hall, so that the emperor could play with them at any time
