Chinese lacquer, is a natural material. I've tried a digital restoration here.
It's derived from the sap of lacquer trees. The production process of lacquer - ware is very complex and delicate. Craftsmen have to apply many layers of lacquer on the base material. Each layer needs to be dried and polished carefully.
The lacquer can create a smooth, shiny, and durable finish. It's not only used to make beautiful utensils like bowls and boxes but also for decorative art pieces. The unique texture and luster of lacquer make it a remarkable traditional craft in China that has a long history.
Hope you like it.
