    Japanese lacquerware items are finished with a sap that comes from the lacquer tree. This finish is prone to degradation, especially if exposed to sun and water, and age will take its toll as well. To clean lacquerware items, wet a lint-free cloth and wring as much water out as you can, then wipe the item. Finish by drying it with a soft lint-free cloth. Shop a range of antique and vintage Japanese lacquerware on 1stDibs.

  • How can you tell if Japanese pearls are real?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertNovember 20, 2024
    To tell if Japanese pearls are real, first feel their surfaces carefully. Cultured and natural pearls will be slightly gritty, while imitations will usually feel smooth. Next, look at the pearls side by side. Real pearls will show slight variations in shape and size. If your pearls look entirely uniform, they are less likely to be real. A certified appraiser or experienced jeweler can evaluate your pearls if you need further assistance. On 1stDibs, explore a selection of pearl jewelry.
