via Vietnam Net, 31 October 2022: Story on the Bat Trang Ceramics Museum in Hanoi.
Bat Trang Ceramics Museum tells the story of 19 native families in the village who have developed their pottery imbued with the culture of each dynasty in the flow of time.
From Sword Lake, crossing the historic Long Bien iron bridge, going down the alluvial banks of the Red River, and taking a bus for about 30 minutes, you will reach Bat Trang Pottery Village.
The first thing that impressed us was the Center of Vietnam Quintessential Handicraft or so-called Bat Trang Ceramics Museum, with seven upward spiral-shaped towers representing the stylized interior of the dragon kiln, which was popular among Bat Trang people in the 20th century before they switched to gas like today. The towers are painted red-brown – the color of clay, and the spirals symbolize the endless waves on the Red River.
