Vietnam handicraft products: Vietnamese people have used natural resin extracted from lacquer trees to produce lacquer products to serve everyday life for thousands of years and many lacquer products such as bamboo vases, bamboo furniture, bamboo bowls or trays, have been found in some special places where the tombs are.  The art of lacquerware was handed down from generation to generation as a family secret .

Today, Vietnamese lacquerware is fully handmade in one lacquer village in Ha Noi called Ha Thai village.  Lacquer resin comes from lacquer trees found growing mostly in the North of Vietnam.  When first extracted from a tree, the lacquer is a white, condensed like milk then turning brown in the air as it oxidises, and gradually becoming black when dried.  Mixed with a solvent it becomes clear and hard when dried.  Each piece of Vietnamese lacquerware usually goes through 20 stages, the process itself takes no less than 60 days, regardless of whether the end product is a large vase or a small decor vase.
