How Lacquerware is made

All of our lacquerware, whether it be vases, asian bowls, lacquer boxes or any other beautiful items in our lacquerware range, is handmade in a similar traditional way, crafted with generations of knowledge and skill by local craftspeople in Vietnam.

Firstly a mould is made for the lacquerware product. This lacquerware mould can be made from bamboo or wood and the shape and size depends on the individual lacquerware items being made, whether it be lacquer boxes, oriental vases or asian bowls. The lacquerware mould needs to be treated to ensure it is waterproof and able to withstand the elements and is then covered in many layers of canvas.

The next stage of creating the lacquerware is applying layers of sap mixed with other natural products such as soil and sawdust to create unique and authentic lacquer boxes, vases and asian bowls. The lacquerware item is dried and sanded down after each layer is applied to create that authentic texture found on all lacquerware. After 3-4 layers, the lacquer boxes, vases and bowls have become incredibly hard and durable and the lacquerware is brushed to reveal a smooth surface.

Once the lacquerware reaches this stage, the lacquer boxes, bowls or vases are hand painted with their own unique design using traditional methods and covered with another layer of the sap mixture. This painting and fixing process is carried out several times to seal the patterns into the lacquerware and create those durable lacquer boxes and other beautiful items. The final stage is the glazing of the lacquerware, the adding of gold detailing and the vases, bowls and lacquer boxes then being polished and packed ready for shipment.

Whether you choose lacquer boxes, oriental vases, asian bowls, handmade handbags or a combination of all of them, we are sure that you will love the lacquerware products in our range.
