Lacquer: A
non-resinous sap produced by various plants belonging to the
Rhus family. These trees are tapped and their sap is collected
into caps, with one tree yielding six to seven ounces per
season. The fresh sap is gray, translucent and somewhat viscous.
When exposed to air and sunlight, it rapidly thickens and
darkens. It has been employed since ancient times, both in China
and Japan, for the decoration of objects made of wood, leather,
papier mâché, ceramics and shell and stone.
