This fine Burmese lacquer tea cups were made in Burma in the early 20th century specifically for the Chinese market. The exterior is beautifully decorated with a gilded five-clawed dragon, a potent symbol of imperial power and good fortune in Chinese culture. The dragon’s dynamic form, swirling amidst stylised clouds, contrasts elegantly against the deep black lacquer ground.

The craftsmanship is typical of Burmese lacquerware from the early 1900s, combining the region’s refined techniques of layered lacquer with motifs appealing to Chinese taste. A striking and collectible piece, perfect as a display object or as part of a wider lacquerware collection.
