Lacquerware Through The Ages

For many centuries and popularised during the dynasty periods of India and China, and later perfected by the early empires of Korea and Japan, lacquerware can perhaps be considered Asia’s most significant contribution to the world of fine art.

Amidst the Phu Tho province there is a tradition of harvesting lacquer, which dates back more than twenty centuries. It is here that the early artisans discovered how to use the juices derived from the Rhus Succedanea Tree, a sumac of South East Asia, and how to convert the oleoresins into a slow drying natural lacquer which can be used to protect delicate paintings and other forms of art. Obtaining the lacquer and crafting lacquerwares is a process that requires knowledge, patience, ingenuity and foresight. The final product must be pleasing to the eye and not lack in quality of design, usefulness and durability. A well-crafted lacquerware product should be able to last as long as the tradition that built it. Table Love has devoted time and effort into ensuring that our customers have the best of lacquerware products.
