- Sơn mài Đại Việt - Lacquer is actually the resin of a tree, mixed with colored pigments and solvents, and applied layer by layer to an object’s surface, resulting in a shiny and durable finish. Eggshell and mother of pearl may be applied to the surface before the lacquer, with the finished product sanded down to reveal the decoration beneath.
The high quality of resin from Vietnamese lacquer trees, particularly those in Phu Tho, was a key factor in the rapid development of this art form during the feudal period. Decorated lacquer statues, panels, boxes, and trays (1428-1527) can still be seen at many temples and pagodas.
In later centuries, the use of lacquerware expanded to larger items such as wooden chairs and tables. Since then, lacquerware has continued to evolve into a cornerstone of the Vietnamese handicraft industry, both domestically and internationally. Today’s most popular items include vases, jewel cases, desk sets, trays, and vertical blinds.
