The Story Behind the Art

Wound bamboo comes from Cat Dang, Vietnam. The soaked bamboo is cut into very fine strips (0.08 inch) and pressed into a curve. The strips are then coiled outward from the centre of each vase. A frame is used to achieve uniform depth and angles. After a coating of cashew oil-based glue, the work is left to dry.

Each piece is cut, shaped and smoothed by hand, as many as four times, and then polished repeatedly. It takes many coats of paint and many more polishings to bring rough bamboo to this smooth, glowing finish. These repeated, patient processes establish the level of quality of lacquer products.

Domestic competition for the tourist market tends to cheapen both quality and the artisans' return from their work. This group, already with nearly 100 members, hopes to expand through Worldstock, bringing additional villagers into better-paid work in improved conditions.

What is Worldstock?

The handcrafted nature of this product will produce minor differences in design and sizing. Subtle variations will occur from piece to piece, adding to its unique qualities. Measurements may vary slightly.

Bamboo Vase, Nov 27, 2008

Really a very pretty vase. I purchased this mainly due to the unbreakability factor. Lots of dogs here and I figured if they knocked it off the table, it wouldn't break! I purchased a similar item at the same time and they look great together. It has a coated finish that really shines.

This vase is unique, the color is vibrant and is my favorite. I have it sitting on the table next to my bed and love the way it picks up the red accent colors in the rest of the room. I put dried grasses in it. After seeing it I bought another piece in this collection.

This goes perfectly with the pedestal, and the round globe vase...I have all three in my bedroom, adding a nice POP! of color to the muted scheme.

The unusual shape captured my interest as it can be used many different places as it is not too large. Workmanship is excellent..
