Vintage Chinese Black Cinnabar 9" Carved Relief Asian Dragon Vase

Description

Black carved dragon vase measures 9 inches tall.
I am not sure if it's Cinnabar or resin.   Please examine photos to see close-up details.
The base measures 2 3/8 inches across.
The top is about 2 1/2 inches across from one outer edge to the other outer edge, but the inside opening is much more narrow.
The bottom does not have any marks.
It weighs about 1 lb. 5 oz.
