• Sơn Mài Lâm Phát- Handicapped & Handicraft - The handicraft factory specializing in lacquerware: The superior quality of resin from Vietnamese lacquer trees, particularly those in the north, played a significant role in the swift advancement of this art form. Decorated lacquer statues, panels, boxes, and trays can still be found in many temples and pagodas. Over the centuries, the use of lacquerware expanded to larger items such as wooden chairs and tables, adorned with engraved, painted, and inlaid mother-of-pearl designs. By the 18th century, significant centers for lacquerware production emerged in both the north and south. As part of their efforts to introduce Vietnamese handicrafts to new international markets, the French established formal training programs in lacquerware at the School of Indigenous Arts near Saigon from 1901 and in Hanoi from 1930. Since then, lacquerware has continued to evolve into a cornerstone of the Vietnamese handicraft industry, both domestically and internationally. Today’s most sought-after items include vases, jewel cases, desk sets, trays, and vertical blinds.
