• Chinese lacquer is of vegetable origin. It is the sap of a tree, the Rhus Vernicifera, which can reach a height of 10 m and a diameter of 40cm. The lacquer is extracted by incision and is collected over 5 months in buckets made of bamboo. The sap turns light brown when it comes in contact with air and takes on the consistency of latex. • How do I know if it is real Chinese lacquer? The leaf of the lacquer tree is stamped on the lacquered lighters and pens of S.T. Dupont. It is a means of identifying that authentic Chinese lacquer has been used.
