Shaped to embrace lotus offerings upon Buddhist altars, this piece is embellished with patterned waves of laithai - Thai motifs. Sompamitre works with a team of skilled artisans trained by her, and together they seek to preserve Thailand's kruang-kern, or lacquerware heritage. This piece is inspired by the people’s faith in Buddhism and their ceremonies, explains Sompamitre. This is the real character of Lanna people, it represents this rich culture of ours. Care Instructions: Lacquerware is not dishwasher safe. When cleaning is needed, simply clean with a damp cloth and never use any type of abrasive cleaner.
