The lively mottled red-orange surface was created through the application of coloured lac on a hand-turned lathe, a process requiring both precision and artistry. Patterns were then incised through the upper layers to reveal colours beneath, producing the distinctive two-tone scratchwork effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLacquer pots such as this were traditionally used in Rajasthan and Gujarat for storing jewellery or bindi powder. Beyond their practical purpose, they were admired as decorative objects, often displayed as tokens of craftsmanship. During the 19th century, international exhibitions brought global recognition to Sindh's fine lac-turned wares, of which this piece is an excellent example. Increasingly rare to find, this pot represents both artistry and history in equal measure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Barmer, Rajasthan, India\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDate:\u003c\/strong\u003e 19th century\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wood with scratchwork lacquer finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e Circular form, domed lid with central decorative motif, spotted red-orange lacquer surface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Good antique condition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMeasurements: \u003c\/strong\u003eW9.5 x D9.5 x H6.75 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BinderKing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53551641788725,"sku":"A03005V2","price":111.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1012\/5243\/2181\/files\/Antique_Nineteenth_Century_Barmer_Spotted_Lacquer_Pot_With_Lid_And_Central_Motif_A03005V2.jpg?v=1789234084","url":"https:\/\/binderking.shop\/products\/old-indian-spotted-lacquer-pot","provider":"BinderKing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
