Introducing the exquisite Seashell Coconut Bowls, a true testament to Vietnam Handicraft Co., Ltd’s commitment to producing exceptional handcrafted pieces. These bowls are a harmonious blend of nature’s finest offerings, skillfully crafted to create stunning works of art that elevate both form and function.
In Vietnam, the area for coconut cultivation is about 147,210 ha. The main focus is in the Mekong Delta, accounting for over 75%, the South Central provinces (from Da Nang back) nearly 20%. And now, Ben Tre is the province with the largest coconut reserves in the country.
The majority of coconuts in Vietnam are harvested for their milks and oils, after which the coconut shells are either discarded or burned. Our coconut bowl are made out of 100% upcycled coconut shell help prevent excess coconut shells from being burned and they provide a much needed secondary income for local farmers and craftspeople.
Each Seashell Coconut Bowl is meticulously crafted by skilled artisans, ensuring that no two pieces are alike. The use of natural materials, including coconut shell and seashell, enhances the allure of these bowls, while their handmade nature ensures a level of uniqueness that captures the essence of artisanal craftsmanship.
At the core of the production process lies the careful preparation of the coconut shell. The outer surface is thoughtfully polished, unveiling the captivating textures and intricate patterns concealed within, celebrating the raw beauty of nature. The seashell, an exquisite mother of pearl variant, is then delicately applied inside the bowl, creating a captivating contrast with the coconut shell’s earthy tones.
To transform these masterpieces into functional art, an artful process of lacquering is applied. Layers of lacquer are meticulously infused, and the bowl is meticulously rubbed in water between each application. This painstaking technique imbues the bowl with a mesmerizing smoothness that begs to be touched and admired.
The transformation of the seashell is equally awe-inspiring. Initially pristine white, the seashell undergoes an enchanting metamorphosis as skilled artisans delicately infuse mineral pigments and chemical dyes. This process culminates in a mesmerizing array of colors that infuse vibrancy into each bowl, enhancing their allure even further.
Beyond their remarkable aesthetics, practicality is also paramount in the design of these Seashell Coconut Bowls. Their food-safe lacquer surface ensures that they are not only meant to be admired but can also be used for serving delectable treats. To preserve their beauty, a simple wipe with a damp cloth and gentle air-drying is all it takes for cleaning, though submersion in water should be avoided.
