Add a striking accent to your home decor with this eggshell and black lacquer vase, expertly handcrafted by talented artisans of Southeast Asia. The unique and vividly designed exterior is created by hand from actual eggshell, making this piece as exclusive as it is beautiful. Following the initial lacquer process, eggshells are thoroughly cleaned and spread out on paper to dry. Once dry, the shells are cracked into small pieces and applied to the lacquer surface. Additional coats of clear lacquer are then applied on top of the eggshell to complete this captivating design. The glossy black finish beneath the eggshell is produced through the application of seven layers of lacquer followed by a two-month drying process to achieve its rich luster. Northern Thai lacquerware is well known to interior designers worldwide, and is acclaimed for some of the globe's finest craftsmanship techniques. Lacquerware is created by applying the black resin of the "Lak" tree onto smoothly carved wood to give it a fine finish. M Size/Dimensions: 8 in. H x 3 in. L x 3 in.
