Makers continue to take inspiration from flowers, leaves, animals and other objects in nature when updating their collections.

Efforts at differentiation have resulted in Vietnam tableware suppliers offering a wider range of patterns and shapes. In these endeavors, nature remains the primary source of inspiration for new designs.

Stylized floral and leaf patterns are popular. Fruit and animals are common motifs as well, especially in serving plates, trays and tea sets. Many companies adopt flora and fauna indigenous or culturally significant to Vietnam such as lotus flowers, bamboo plants and elephants to further set their pieces apart in the international market.

Decorative details can be handpainted, carved, inlaid, woven or embroidered. The tableware itself can be in a novelty shape.

To offer buyers greater variety in design, makers are combining different materials in a single product. Releases in line with this trend include serving trays with bamboo borders and coiled seagrass bases, or vice versa. In placemats and table runners, models combining bamboo and rattan are being offered.
