Bamboo Round Vase (Vietnam)

Made from compressed bamboo strips, this vase is ample size for fresh flowers. Each vase takes 45 days to complete (after the bamboo has been soaked for 6-12 months!). In the village of Tien Lu, the creation of baskets, lacquer ware and other handicrafts is an integral part of the community and culture, even causing a festival every year on August 21st.

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. Choose from teal or red.

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.

The handcrafted nature of this product will produce slight variations in form and sizing. All measurements are approximate. Wipe clean with a damp cloth; not dishwasher safe.

I was very pleased with this product, came wrapped very securely and it is beautiful. The only thing I did not realize how large it is for the place I wanted it for. However, I found a great place for it and it really gives the room a pop.

I previously purchased two other items that were from Vietnam and made from the same material as the vase. I was so pleased with them that I decided to buy this vase. It came promptly, undamaged, and was exactly like I expected. So far I haven't been disappointed with any of my purchases.

The color is a deep red and very glossy. It's a beautiful Asian looking vase. I really love it on my dining room table. It's very chic.
