Shan Shen Lacquerware

　　Shan Shen Lacquerware is made from precious natural wood from around the world, mother-of-pearl inlays, high-quality bamboo slices, and the famous Chengkou premium raw lacquer. Blending traditional folk lacquer artistry with modern technology, the production involves degreasing, shaping, polishing, and then applying various techniques including wiping, spraying, carving, inlaying, grinding, outlining, and painting. The collection includes nearly 100 varieties such as solid wood lacquerware, flat-ground mother-of-pearl crafts, and bamboo slip carvings. The manufacturer exports about 30% of its total annual production to markets such as Japan, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. The Chongqing Municipal Government and Chengkou County place great emphasis on the development of Shan Shen Lacquerware. Today, the Shan Shen Lacquerware Factory has grown into a key enterprise in Chongqing producing tourist goods, craft gifts, and local specialties, as well as a major base for lacquerware production in the city.
