SKU# 5440220

Warm your hands on this cozy, rounded 4x4-inch mug, hand-painted by artisans in the traditional ceramic village of Bat Trang, Vietnam, a village just outside of Hanoi that is known for its traditional ceramics, and which translates literally as “village of bowls.”

The piece is formed in a mold, and then hand-painted with glaze. Bat Trang village was established in the 14th century to supply ceramics to the royal household. It is famous for its white clay pottery decorated with blue motifs, called hoa lam in Vietnamese. Currently more than 1,000 households are involved in ceramics production in Bat Trang. Pottery making is one of the most ancient traditions in Vietnam. From the 11th century, artisans developed new glazes such as celadon and green, and new designs such as the lotus pattern that became broadly popular.
