It so difficult to convey the brilliance of the finish on this lacquerware in website pictures. One must hold them to really appreciate the quality.
When I gaze into the deep deep gloss of the lacquer, I can appreciate the three-month process each item has taken to become that which I am holding. That is not a feeling I get when looking at some mass-produced piece plucked from a shelf full of identical items at a local branch of a homeware store.
I find every piece of lacquerware I buy from Silkwood Traders has its own character. Take vases, for example: Whether a plain black gloss complemented by flowers, twigs or branches, or the stunning beauty of the Picasso collection, each piece is receptive to a versatile embellishment whilst having enough character to stand for itself unadorned. Beautiful!
