Size

You'd be forgiven for thinking that this lacquer bowl was made of marble. The crushed duck eggs are mesmerising. These beautiful decorative lacquer bowls are handmade in Burma in a family workshop. Up to 20 layers of raw lacquer sap are applied to a bamboo frame, with each layer taking 8 days to air dry. Tiny pieces of eggshell are then hand laid, before smoothing and finishing; every piece takes about three months to make. Comes in one other design with a shattered rather than marbled effect.

Materials

Up to 20 layers of raw lacquer sap on a bamboo frame, with hand-laid duck eggshell inlay.

An average family in Burma is made up of four people. 38% are farming families and live off less than $300 a month.

However, adequate nutrition, healthcare and education for four costs around $750. Our mission is to close this gap through consistent orders.
