During the early twentieth century, Vietnam was a cosmopolitan
country, influenced not only by its Chinese and Khmer neighbors,
but also by the French and other Europeans. This fascinating book
is among the first in English to document the output of Vietnamese
craftspeople and manufacturers from this period. Lacquer work,
carvings, textiles, and ceramics are among the wonderful crafts
illustrated in 302 color photographs. These are placed in their
cultural context with a detailed text and insights from the author,
who has lived in the region for many years. Collectors of Southeast
Asian artifacts finally have a reference to help identify
Vietnamese craft items, their meaning in the Vietnamese culture,
and their current values.
