A large bowl set atop a wide circular foot, the top combines graceful curves rising to a spire that reduces in size as it soars. At once exotic and elegant, with a black-lacquer finish, this piece is a sophisticated statement piece, finding a position of distinction on a sofa table, entry table, or shelf. The Soon-oke itself comprises five individual pieces.

The Traditional Soon-Oke is part of a collection showcasing handcrafted lacquerware from Myanmar, honoring time-honored as well as contemporary designs. Ethically produced by a small family maker respecting traditional methods, this custom collection demonstrates admiration and support for the artisans, producers, and local communities of Myanmar.
