Description: | Japanning was used to produce a huge range of items from buttons to bedsteads and everything in between. The lacquer used to make japanned ware gave a durable, waterproof finish which could be either left plain or decorated. It could be applied to different bases - metal, wood and papier mache were most commonly used - giving extra strength, so that papier mache could be used to make furniture that was light and yet strong enough to sit on.
