Introduction to Lacquered Gourd Craft

The lacquered gourd craft is an artistic form that combines traditional Chinese lacquer techniques with gourd shape production. Lacquer, also known as natural lacquer or national lacquer, originates from lacquer trees and is a precious and ancient natural coating material with unique gloss, hardness, and durability. Gourds, as traditional Chinese auspicious symbols, signify good luck, longevity, and harmony. Applying lacquer to gourds not only enhances their artistic beauty but also imbues them with profound cultural connotations and unique collectible value.
