| Description: |
Located in an area rich in clay, the village has advantage of
ingredients to create fine ceramics. Moreover, lying besides the
Red river, between Thang Long and Pho Hien, two ancient trade
centers in the north of Vietnam during 15th-17th century, Bat
Trang’s ceramics were favorite products not only in domestic
market, but also foreign ones thanks to Japan, Chinese and
Western trading boats that passed by. In the18th and 19th century, due to restricting foreign trade policy of Trinh, Nguyen dynasty, it was difficult for pottery products in Vietnam to be exported to foreign countries, and some famous pottery making villages like Bat Trang, or Chu Dau ( Hai Duong province) went through a hard time. Since 1986, thanks to economic reforms and development, more attention has been vested in the village and the world gets a chance to know more about Vietnamese porcelain through many high quality exported Bat Trang’s ceramic products. Bat Trang ceramics are produced for daily household use (bow, cup, plates, pot, bottle…), worshipping, or decoration purposes. Nowadays, the pottery artists bring into ceramics many innovations in production techniques, and creativity in products’ features, hence many new products have been born, and even daily household items may have the beauty like decoration ones. |
