The New International Encyclopædia/Burmese Ware

BURMESE (bûr-mēz′ or -mēs′) WARE (first imported from Burma). Small cups and other vessels, made of strips of bamboo woven like fine basketwork, with the interstices filled with paste made of wood-oil and fine powders. When sufficiently hardened, the surface is smoothed with pumice-stone and water.
