According to the Metropolitan Museum of Art - Cinnabar: The Chinese Art of Carved Lacquer. Lacquer is the resin (or sap) of a family of trees (rhus verniciflua) found throughout southern China. It is an amazing material that hardens when exposed to oxygen and becomes a natural plastic that is resistant to water and can withstand heat and certain acids.
