Traditional Myanmar Lacquerware

  •  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.
