According to recorded documents, traditional lacquer has aesthetic value, with its own characteristics of materials and techniques. The traditional Binh Duong lacquer material (lacquer) used throughout the complete product is a type of lacquer exploited in some northern provinces of Vietnam, Cambodia, and Myanmar, considered the main material, combined with auxiliary materials with the ability to express themselves such as: gold and silver leaves, gold and silver beads, mother-of-pearl shells, duck and chicken eggshells, lipstick, various types of pigments, etc.
In lacquer art, “cánh cánh” or “then” lacquer plays a key role in combining all colors and grinding materials and guiding them through the correct painting techniques, from the beginning to the completion of the work, and itself is both a glue, coating, gloss, and primer that creates the foundation for each product.
The traditional lacquer crafting technique is estimated to go through nearly 25 stages, with completion time of 3 to 6 months, divided into 2 stages: lacquer and mold making techniques and expression techniques (painting, inlaying, etc.).
In the expression stage, there are many different genres such as: lacquer, sunken lacquer painting, thin lacquer painting, thick lacquer painting, sunken lacquer carving, sunken mother-of-pearl inlaid lacquer, raised mother-of-pearl inlaid lacquer, sunken eggshell inlaid lacquer, raised eggshell inlaid lacquer, gold and silver glitter lacquer painting, gold and silver leaf lacquer painting, simple diving lacquer painting - complex diving painting, embossed lacquer, synthetic lacquer...
