Indian lacquer pots are true works of art and this colourful lacquer box is an excellent collector's piece. This pot is from Kutch in Gujarat and the technique used is known as scratchwork. This piece dates from the early 20th century
Lacquer boxes are commonly used in Rajasthan and Gujarat for storing jewellery or bindi (the red powder that Indian ladies apply to the forehead).
Lacquering is done by the craftsman on a hand-powered lathe. The wooden pot is spun and a lac stick is pressed against the pot. As the pot spins friction softens the lac which coats the surface of the wood. Quite intricate designs can be created by the craftsman using different techniques.
Good quality lacquer pots are becoming increasingly difficult to find.
