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!).
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.

Decorate your home with the oriental style of our Chinese Calligraphy silk Shoji Screen.

Handcrafted by artisans in China's Hunan province, this exquisite piece recreates the soothing art of the Song dynasty. The ink and watercolor panels feature inspirational imagery on silk floor screen. A silk brocade border decorates the hand-painted front, while the reverse is a solid, light brown tone. Use this exotic creation as a privacy screen or mount it for a stunning piece of wall art.

Each panel is a different poem from the Song Dynasty (translation from the left): Panel 1. Our soldiers go a long way to protect the territory left by our ancestors. They never allow the invading horses to go across the Yin Mountain. Panel 2. Former friends say goodbye at the Yellow Crane Building and go west to Yangzhou in the beautiful blue sky of March. Panel 3. A lonely city sitting on a mountain thousands of meters high watch as the Yellow River goes farther and farther into the white clouds. Panel 4. Smell the flowers and enjoy the clouds of the peaceful countryside life.
