Chinese lacquer

Chinese lacquer tea sets are crafted from natural lacquer tree sap, a precious material refined through harvesting and oxidation. Artisans use wood or bamboo as the base structure, layering cloth and applying dozens of lacquer coats before polishing them to a jade-like luster. Tea sets not only carry the charm of tea soup but also showcase the thousand - year - old context of lacquer art. Layer upon layer of lacquering is like the imprint of time, and during the circulation of the utensils, the Eastern philosophy is condensed. They have become cultural symbols where practicality and artistry coexist.
