Handmade ceramics

Vietnamese ceramics have a long and distinguished history dating back to the Bronze Age. The Dong Son and Sa Huynh periods laid the foundation for the country's love of decorative pottery.

During the golden age of pottery making under the Ly Dynasty, Hanoi's jade-glazed ceramics gained international recognition, while villages like Bat Trang, Tho Ha, and Phu Lang became renowned for their distinctively colored ceramics.

Chinese techniques brought back by Vietnamese ambassadors had a significant impact on the style and quality of Vietnamese ceramics, particularly in Bat Trang, which is now considered a potential rival to Chinese and French porcelain. Today, Vietnamese ceramics continue to be an important aspect of the country's cultural identity, admired around the world for their unique style and rich heritage.
