10 years ago, a set of table and chairs and a tea set enchased with millions of sea shells were auctioned for nearly VND100 million (about $50,000).
These special items include six chairs, one table, a tea pot, six cups and a flowerpot. The furniture is now owned by a family in the southern province of Hau Giang.
Shelld are arranged artfully to make artworks.

Each big chair is decorated with two dragons at two sides and a flying phoenix on the back.

The shells are very carefully polished.
The emphasis lies at the feet of the table, with four dragons.
Sitting on a chair, one can massage the arms and the back.
