Dinnerware on a lacquer tray with cloud design Early Western Han Dynasty (206 B.C. -163 B. C.) Unearthed from Xin Zhui’s tomb Five small lacquer dishes containing food, 2 lacquer zhi and 1 eared cup were arranged on the lacquer tray at the time of unearthing. There was also a skewer used for holding pieces of meatand one pair of bamboo chopsticks, making it convenient to drink wine and eat food. It suggests that nobles ate their meals on individual tray in the Han Dynasty. A separate tray was placed in front of each person, with a set of dinnerware.
