Not Lacquered, to protect against patina, tarnish.
Some Copper items will have a lacquer to protect the Copper from patination, some are not and will develop a green patina more quickly. Patina is not a defect, it is a natural by-product and sometimes desired. If you do not like the patina effect, simply cleaning with a standard copper polish will help. Some jewellery makers prefer bare copper as this enables them to get creative with patina effects. Items treated with lacquer or anti-tarnish prohibitory may sometimes be cleaned/prepared for patination but the effectivness varies from product to product an is down to personal experimentation.
