Vespa Primavera lacquer case costs more than 400 million VND

The only eggshell Vespa Primavera, a work combining Vietnamese lacquer art on a European vehicle, has just been auctioned with a final price of 19,000 USD.

One-of-a-kind Vespa Primavera auctioned for charity.

A unique Vespa Primavera with eggshell inlays was put up for sale at a charity auction in Hanoi. According to a representative of Piaggio Vietnam, this scooter was purchased by an individual for $19,000. The money will be used to raise funds for surgeries for Vietnamese children with facial deformities.

Primavera eggshell inlay is a unique combination of a product imbued with Italian culture and traditional Vietnamese lacquer techniques.

Hanoia's skilled lacquer artisans in Binh Duong worked continuously for more than 2 months, just to complete the shell of this Vespa Primavera.

The pastel blue shell of the car is made up of millions of eggshells, paints, dyes and 6 layers of clear coat. Therefore, the finished product has a very unique beauty, unlike any other paint color of Piaggio, although the Italian car company is famous for creating unique car paint colors.

Vespa Primavera ABS used to make this unique model has no difference in technical specifications compared to the standard versions. The vehicle still uses the latest 125cc iGet engine and is equipped with an ABS anti-lock braking system. This is a very useful safety feature, only available on some scooters in Vietnam (mainly Piaggio vehicles).
