- Myanmar tableware is not complete without mentioning the lacquerware products that are mass produced in and around the historic town called 'Bagan' in Myanmar.
Traditional lacquerware crafts are handmade and mostly made by using bamboo and resin from a special kind of trees that grow around the Bagan area.
- Lacquerware was originated from neighbouring country China since 13th century.
- Myanmar Kings and Royal members historically used lacquerware as tableware and special gifts at their royal events.
- Burmese Buddhist monks to this day mainly use lacquerware bowls as their serving bowls and for receiving donated food for their meals.
