After washing, wipe off any moisture thoroughly with a dry, soft cloth and allow to dry completely before storing in a low humidity place.

If the smell of lacquerware bothers you, rinse it in lukewarm water and leave it in a well-ventilated place out of direct sunlight with the spout facing up as shown in the image for a few to 10 days. The smell will gradually fade.
