Creating Lacquer ware is perhaps the most traditional of all Myanmar or Burma handicrafts and widely produced and used.

Lacquer ware was long a favorite of royalty for storing documents in lacquer chests and precious jewelries in lacquer boxes.

In the  normal household Lacquerware is for everyday use such as keeping betel nuts and leaves or as soup bowls. Monks use a black lacquer ware bowl known as thabeik when asking for alms.

Lacquer ware - Lackarbeiten - from Myanmar Burma Birma was so highly treasured that Myanmar’s kings often presented lacquer objects as gifts to foreign emissaries.

Little is known of how the making of lacquer ware - Lackarbeiten -started in Myanmar Burma Birma, although some believe that it may have been introduced from China’s Yunnan province.

What is certain is that lacquer ware is a traditional Myanmar craft that dates as far back as the 13th century.

Valued for its artistic beauty and practical qualities — lacquer ware is light and watertight, for example — lacquer ware has many applications. One can find lacquer ware ash trays, bowls, water jars, vases, salvers for temple offerings, cups, jewellery boxes based on an ancient design that double as pillows, traditional betel boxes, plates, storage chests, tables and chairs.

The centre of lacquer ware manufacture is Bagan in upper Myanmar. It is a cottage industry and in the village of Myinkaba alone, some 600 households produce lacquerware. Visitors are welcome to watch the process, a skill passed down from generation to generation.

 have English-speaking proprietors who are willing to demonstrate the processes step by step.

The Lacquer ware creation process begins with the making of a bamboo frame for the lacquer ware item, a bowl or a vase for example. For objects of the highest quality, fine horsehair, taken from the tail, is woven around the frame. You can tell if horsehair is used by pressing the sides of the bowl together — they should touch. Lower quality bowls are made completely of bamboo wicker woven around the frame and are very stiff as a result.

Bamboo wicker or horsehair are traditional materials employed for lacquer ware products. Nowadays, cheaper and more durable wood — mainly teak or mango....
