[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9786566, member: 2844"]It is a Burmese (Myanmar) lacquer offering bowl. These usually come in nesting sets or with a lid. The wear looks natural to me, in which case it is probably 19th century. The inside of the bowl would have been protected by the bowls that sat inside it. But you say the wear is intentional, which I have never seen on Burmese lacquer. If it is indeed intentional, I can't date it. What makes you think it is intentional?[/QUOTE]
