Chiang Mai Lacquer
Black Lacquer Box
18 cm
฿3,200
Twelve coats of resin over bamboo, polished between each one.
Built up from lacquer tree resin over a woven bamboo core, coat after coat, each one sanded before the next goes on. Twelve is normal; the good ones run to twenty.
Light enough to lift with one finger, which always surprises people given how solid it looks.
