Circular Lacquerware Ashtray: Hand-Etched Geometric Pattern Motif

This circular ashtray showcases Burmade’s exclusive geometric design, a modern reinterpretation of traditional Burmese patterns. By evolving classical motifs into clean, minimalist lines, this piece celebrates the continuity of cultural art and its place in the modern world.

The value of craftsmanship is felt in the tactile surface. Using the Yun Htoe technique, master artisans in Bagan hand-etch each line into cured layers of natural Thit-si lacquer. This meticulous process adds visual depth and a rich texture that machine-made items cannot replicate, all built upon a sustainable bamboo frame.

More than a smoking accessory, this piece offers a meaningful connection to a living tradition. It serves as a subtle expression of cultural pride, providing a refined design piece that brings history and modern elegance to your home or office.
