About this item: The melody of art inspires the unique design of this vase featuring a flute-like neck and brim.

The final coat is washed with water and polished with powdered fired clay, offering an irresistible sheen in shades of red and black. - Do not use abrasives - Wipe with damp cloth - For decorative use only About our Artist: Thailand's Daeng Thanunchai says, 'I have been crafting lacquer wares for over forty years. Through a Department of Factories program, I studied with a Japanese master of lacquer for six years, then gradually thought of starting my own workshop. Handcrafting lacquer ware is extremely difficult. A single piece takes me between one and two months to complete, sometimes even longer. '
