A lot of lacquerware in Japan today is being made from a synthetic resin. Because of their advanced technology in this area, it is very difficult to tell the difference. It doesn't matter as much as the finish the item has, use-wise (the synthetics are more durable) or cost-wise (just as expensive as wood).

This vase and the stand boards are made of a synthetic resin material. This is packaged as I have seen fine quality items sold, wrapped in a gold cloth, in a wood box.

It was made to commemorate something (written on the inside lid).
