Avoid moisture — do not wipe with wet cloth or expose to rain. Papier-mâché weakens when wet.
Avoid direct sunlight — prolonged UV exposure fades the hand-painted pigments and dulls the lacquer.
Dust with a dry soft cloth — never use chemical cleaners or abrasives on the lacquer surface.
This vase is built in layers over a clay mould, each ring of pulp left to dry before the next is added, then sanded smooth by hand. The chinar leaves are drawn freehand across the curved surface — a far harder canvas than a flat lid — and finished in real gold leaf, laid line by line and burnished with a polished stone. Ghulam Mohammad learned the chinar motif from his father, who in turn learned it from his. No two leaves on this vase are identical; the small asymmetries are the mark of a hand, not a machine.
