Chinese lacquer craft has a long history. It appeared as early as the Neolithic Age more than 7,000 years ago. With the continuous development across different historical periods, it has supported rich content such as hemp base, gold-and-silver flat peeling, and carved lacquer.

This is a decorative technique using Chinese lacquer, which is to layer colored lacquer (made by adding mineral pigments to natural lacquer) and gold powder multiple times. If you look closely, it looks like stars are displayed on the surface of the tea set.

Simply the material of the teapot is made of ceramic, and then painted with Chinese lacquer and fine gold powder. The production process is more complicated than the general one. First, there is a process of making the pot, which must be subjected to a high temperature of 1300 degrees Celsius. Then the second craftsman will apply lacquer on the surface of the pot at least 8 times, dry it in the shade for 384 hours, and then it will be fired in the kiln.

Lacquer, also known as natural lacquer, raw lacquer, and Chinese lacquer, is a natural resin coating. It is a white viscous emulsion that flows out of the bast of the lacquer tree after cutting the bark. It is a pure natural product. The lacquer juice is brushed on the surface of the object and can dry in the air to form a hard film of the original color. It is tough, durable, and corrosion-resistant.

Lacquer was originally used for sealing and reinforcement of production tools. For thousands of years, as people's understanding of its characteristics deepened, they not only prepared colorful lacquers, but also created decorative techniques such as inlay and mother-of-pearl, which gradually turned lacquer from a material into art.
