This vessel, crafted with such high skill, has a glossy vermilion interior and a beautiful wood grain lacquer finish on the outside.

The natural wood base is finished with a coat of genuine lacquer, making it durable, lightweight, and easy to use for everyday use.

The clean, easy-to-use shape and the lustrous color of the genuine lacquer make it perfect for serving a variety of soups.

Precautions for Using Lacquerware

• Please handle lacquerware with care, as the surface can be delicate.
• When storing or using it together with other items, friction or accidental scratches may cause the lacquer coating to wear or peel.
• Wash gently by hand, wipe dry with a soft cloth, and store in a place away from direct sunlight.
  This will help preserve the lacquer surface for many years.
• Do not soak the item in water. Prolonged exposure may cause the lacquer to deteriorate or peel.
• Avoid using microwave ovens, ovens, direct heat, or dishwashers, as these may damage the lacquerware.
• As this is a handcrafted lacquer item, please take care to avoid impacts, rubbing, or dropping it, as this may cause the lacquer to peel or the surface sheen to fade.
