Details

Inspired by traditional Japanese design, Nantana Sompamitre evokes an earthquake on a tray of exquisite simplicity. Its minimalist line and graceful curves are covered with an intricate eggshell mosaic. Once the mango wood is carved into the desired shape it is coated with lacquer. Once dried it is polished, and another coat is applied – up to twenty times – before as many six coats of pure lacquer are present. The final layer is polished with powdered fired clay. Next, eggshells are cleaned and cracked into small pieces. Sompamitre arranges them in the desired pattern on fresh coat of lacquer. The tray is lacquered twice more and sanded in water until the eggshells appear.

Pretty”

The bpx is well made and a nice addition to my collection. Only wish the green wasmore prominent like the photo shows. The green is a bit subdued.
