Tu Bon Lacquer

Thu Dau Mot / Vietnam

What Tu Bon Lacquer is known for

Vietnamese eggshell-inlay and gilt lacquer pieces sourced directly from Binh Duong's century-old Tuong Binh Hiep craft village.

Tu Bon Lacquer Art Handicraft operates from Tuong Binh Hiep Ward in Thu Dau Mot City, Binh Duong Province, inside the district Vietnam+ describes as having "produced lacquer products over nearly 100 years," with a craft lineage the same outlet traces back "more than 200 years." The company's own site, tubonlacquerware.vn, confirms current operation and cites over 30 years in the trade, placing its founding sometime after the village's cooperative-era peak of the 1980s, when more than 160 members worked under shared workshops.

Its catalog runs through the core Tuong Binh Hiep repertoire: eggshell inlay, spiral shell inlay, gold plating, silver plating and veneer inlaying, worked over wood, plywood, bamboo, fiberglass and ceramic bases. Finished forms include decorative lacquer paintings, jewelry, pen and watch boxes, vases, round and rectangular trays, bowls and dishes, plus custom commissions, the same range that made the village, per Vietnam+, a source of "thousands of designs and models."

A business directory listing (WTC Connect) records export activity into France, Germany, the United Kingdom, Australia, Japan and South Korea. The company's own website is Vietnamese-language with limited English content, so buyers researching in English will lean on secondary listings for context. Nothing verifiable here contradicts a genuine, currently operating manufacturer rooted in one of Vietnam's two recognized lacquer-producing regions, the other being Hanoi's sơn mài scene already represented by Hanoia.
