Layering

The substrate has to be prepared, firstly by hollowing out the metal surface which will undergo mechanical and chemical preparation. The lacquer is applied in several layers (up to ten), after drying each layer is smoothed with charcoal and then polished.
Chinese lacquer is a living material that is resistant to handling and difficult to work with.
Only a master lacquer maker with a long experience and a confirmed know-how can master the craftsmanship and the techniques involved in the processing of Chinese lacquer.
All lacquer products are adorned with the authentic Chinese lacquer hallmark, the image of leaf of the Rhus vernicifera tree.
