Minh Phuong Fine Arts & Handicraft

Lacquer shop is the must visit in Ho Chi Minh City …

So what is Lacquer actually? Lacquer is oriental varnish obtained from the sap of the tree gum. Its high-gloss finish became fashionable in Europe in the 17th century. Mother-of-pearl, coral and metals were often inlaid in the lacquer ground to create a decorative effect.
