| Vietnamese oil lamp was a must for every family |
Hundreds of years ago when electronic and candles had not come to Vietnam, Vietnamese oil lamp was a must for every family to have substantial light for night time. Every oil lamp has three parts which is the lighting head, the oil body and the base.
The first oil lamp was made from pottery. After that, there is an improvement in oil lamp producer when glass and ceramic could be made in some handicraft villages. The lighting head is made by glass so that the light spreads wider and brighter and it protects the little fire inside from wind while the oil body and base are made by ceramic for better durability and more beautiful appearance.

Vietnamese oil lamp is a beautiful image of Vietnamese people as in many pictures and poems, it often goes with hard-working student or great mother who awake during the night for studying or sewing. Nowadays, electronic lamp has replaced this traditional one and you hardly find an oil lamp in the market.
