New Bat Trang pottery Flat vase with carved lotus design Height: 10 cm Bottom diameter: 11 cm x 4.5 cm Mouth diameter: 2.5 cm x 1 cm *Please allow for slight variations. Dragonflies are said to bring good luck, lotus flowers purity, and chrysanthemums financial fortune, so this piece is also auspicious. Bat Trang pottery is made in Bat Trang village, a village of about 5,000 people located about 30 minutes by car from Hanoi, the capital. It is said to have begun around the 14th century, boasting a history of over 600 years. While influenced by Chinese pottery, it has established its own unique style that is free and uninhibited. Bat Trang pottery is not made on a potter's wheel; instead, clay is poured into a mold and shaped under pressure from above. This is an overseas product. It is not made for the Japanese market, so unlike Japanese products, it is not uniform. There may be slight variations in color, black spots, firing distortions, or other imperfections. Please only purchase if you understand and appreciate the rustic charm of Vietnamese handmade crafts. #BatTrangPottery #Pottery #Vase #Ceramics #FreshFlowers #Plants #VietnameseGoods #InteriorDecor #AsianGoods #AntiqueGoods #VintageGoods #Lotus #LotusFlower #LotusPattern #WaterLily #FlowerVase #Auspicious #Gardening
