Inlaying is an ancient technique that has been used throughout history to create intricate and beautiful designs on various materials. One notable example of this art form can be found in the Italian Renaissance sgraffitos, where delicate patterns were etched onto walls and pottery. Another stunning display can be seen in wood-mosaic and marble-mosaic works from different periods. These masterpieces showcase the meticulous craftsmanship involved in arranging small pieces of wood or marble to create breathtaking scenes and patterns. The Pembroke Table, created by Ulrich Fischer in 1937, exemplifies the elegance of wood-mosaic inlaying. Its intricate design showcases a harmonious blend of colors and textures, making it a true work of art. Moving back further into history, we find examples from the Northern Song dynasty (960-1127) such as the Cloud-Shaped Pillow with Peony Scroll. This exquisite piece features delicate peony scroll motifs meticulously carved into its surface, demonstrating the skillful use of bas-reliefs. The Ming dynasty (1368-1644) or Qing dynasty (1644-1911) also left behind remarkable their expertise in inlaying techniques. The Miniature Vessel showcases intricate designs made using precious materials like jade or ivory, reflecting their dedication to creating objects that are both visually appealing and functional. One particularly fascinating artifact is the Dish with Images of Ancient Bronzes from the Qing dynasty. This dish depicts images inspired by ancient bronzes through an elaborate process involving carefully placed metal inserts within porcelain clay - a testament to skilled craftsmanship. Traveling even further back in time brings us to Eastern Zhou dynasty's Warring States period (late 4th / 3rd cent B. C. ), represented by artifacts like Covered Jar (Hu). Its detailed engravings depict mythical creatures and demonstrate how early civilizations utilized this technique for storytelling purposes. Similarly impressive is the Jar (hu), also from the Eastern Zhou dynasty's Warring States period.
