中國是世界上最早用天然漆的國家，福州漆器歷史悠久，土壤文創把福洲著名漆藝大師陳杰的作品帶來香港。福州脫胎漆器，與北京的景泰藍、江西的景德鎮瓷器並稱為中國傳統工藝的“三寶”。
Black colour is the original colour of lacquer. In Chinese, the term 漆黑 refers to lacquer-blackness. This "little ants" box demonstrates well the lustrous blackness of lacquer.
黑色是天然漆作為色料的原始色。漢語「漆黑」一詞就是形容漆樹汁液的顏色。這小螞蟻漆盒充分突顯漆器光滑亮澤之黑。
