Burmese Red Lacquer Bowl – Ca 1920

These lacquer bowls are Burmese, dating to the beginning of the 20th century. They’re constructed from woven grass or bamboo and the lacquer work gives strength and durability. They come in all sizes as well as tiffin boxes, paan boxes & trays. There is an old vintage sticker on the bottom of the bowl.

All Burmese families prided themselves on their lacquer work. Because of the fragile nature of these boxes, many of these boxes were destroyed. The underside is etched with a single character, likely the name of the owner.
