About the Item

This old Burmese lacquerware betelnut box is a charming and authentic piece of early 20th-century craftsmanship from Burma (now Myanmar). Measuring 17.5 cm in height with an 18.6 cm diameter and weighing 818 grams, this delicately made box reflects the traditional techniques and cultural heritage of Burmese lacquerware artisans. Crafted from finely layered lacquer over a bamboo or wood base, it would have originally been used to store betelnuts—a common and culturally significant offering in Burmese social and religious practices. The surface likely features classic Burmese motifs or decorative patterns, characteristic of the period and region. This piece is not only a functional container but also a beautiful example of Southeast Asian folk art. Perfect for collectors of ethnic antiques, lovers of Asian decorative arts, or those seeking a meaningful accent piece, this lacquerware box offers both historical charm and artisanal elegance.
