Invented by Shen Shao'an in the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), the Fuzhou bodiless lacquerware is a traditional Chinese handicraft which is on the verge of extinction. It was listed as s state intangible cultural heritage in 2006, and a conservation base was also established in the same year. Nowadays, a growing number of craftsmen who inherited the techniques of the Fuzhou bodiless lacquerware are working towards the industry's revival.
