Description
Title
Set
of
3
nesting
lacquerware
boxes
,
Thailand
,
late
20th
century
Description
These
nesting
boxes
(largest
,
8
sm
.
high)
are
decorated
using
a
variation
of the
lacquerware
process
. For
centuries
,
northern
Thai
lacquerware
artisans
commonly
used
bamboo
or
teak
as the
wood
base
and the
black
resin
of the "
lak
"
tree
as
coating
material
.
Traditional
lacquerware
making
also
involved
the
use
of
natural
pigments
in the
hand
painted
designs
and a
slow
,
steady
lacquer
coating
and
drying
process
that
usually
involved
weeks
or
months
for the
finish
of
each
piece
. The
designs
on these
boxes
look
as if they were
created
by
etching
though
the
layers
of
black
lacquer
to
reveal
the
golden
colors
of the
surface
beneath
the
coating
.
