Lacquer is a resin from the sap, generally very toxic, of various shrubs of the Anacardiaceae family. When it dries, it forms a solid, weather-resistant coating. We also call a lacquer, in the masculine this time, an object made of lacquer. The creations entirely in lacquer were, in the most ancient times, from the Neolithic period in China, used as luxury utility objects.
