This eye catching piece boasts a rich red finish beneath several shiny coats of lacquer. Bamboo lacquering was originally a functional improvement and not an art. It was a sensible means of strengthening and waterproofing items for daily and ceremonial use. The basic lacquering process involves fashioning a vessel with bamboo and then lacquering it with the sap of a native tree. A piece's quality and art are judged by the luster and depth of its lacquer as well as by the refinement of its ornamentation and the beauty of its coloring. A lustrous finish requires many coatings of lacquer and ash, between which a piece must be dried in a dust-free environment and periodically polished.
