 Lacquer ware, in Myanmar, is valued for its artistic
beauty and other credits of light and watertight in the
usage. It has served for a long time as a favorite among
the royal community for storing documents and precious
jewels. Still widely produced and used nowadays, lacquer
ware has the most cultural distinction and traditional
value to all Myanmar.
Lacquer, in fact, is the sap extracted from a tree
called "Rhus Vernicifera" and the process is time
taking. It takes for a couple of weeks to finish even a
smallest item. Lacquer is applied layer after layer
until its foundation or frame can't be traced. A minimum
of 7time coating is required to become a quality
lacquer. Every time after the coating of lacquer, the
item is kept in the underground for a week protecting it
from the direct sun-light and to have enough moisture.
The final decoration of engraving is done with free
hands, without model, entirely of inspiration using a
stylet and of a brush.
Lacquer ware is a wonderful and prestigious souvenir for
a memento of visit Myanmar.
