Great for entertaining or organizing coffee table clutter, these sturdy lacquered service trays from Olinalá, Guerrero are available in two sizes. Did you know that lacquer was a widely used technique by Mayans, Aztecs and Purepechas? Gourds called xicaras were lacquered and used for drinking and eating. Like many crafts, Mexican lacquerware evolved after the Spanish conquest: wooden objects like trunks, trays and boxes were introduced and continue to be produced today.
