Lacquer is used to refer to Japanese ware that is coated with a kind of hard decorative type of varnish taking high polish. It can also refer to varnishes that are used to act as a protective covering.
Scientifically or industrially lacquer can be defined as one of several coloured or clear synthetic coatings that are obtained by dissolving nitrocellulose or other derivatives of cellulose along with pigments and plasticizers in a mixture of some volatile solvents used for the purpose of imparting a high gloss to required surfaces.
Lacquer is generally a resinous material that is glossy in appearance and can be got from natural sources as well, such as the exudation from the lacquer tree. The baked finish that is found on the insides of beverage and food cans is also a kind of lacquer.
