Spotted Lacquer Pot From Barmer - 19th Century Blue & White Porcelain red and black lacquered withThis 19th century spotted lacquer pot from Barmer, Rajasthan, is a beautiful example of traditional Indian lacquerware. Crafted on a hand powered lathe, coloured lac sticks were pressed against the spinning wooden pot, the heat of friction softening the lacquer and coating the surface in vibrant tones. The craftsman then incised delicate patterns through the top layer, revealing contrasting colours beneath and creating the distinctive spotted effect.
