Questions About Japanese Lacquer Ware
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Japanese Bizen ware is a form of pottery that does not use glaze, creating pieces that are lackluster and have a rustic appearance. Bizen ware is made from a type of clay that is more difficult to spread enamel on than other types of clay. As a result, the method of production involves selecting specific soil to turn into clay and drying the pottery before firing it. Browse a range of Japanese Bizen ware on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022

    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.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
