In Bat Trang (Gia Lam district, Hanoi city), there are currently more than 700 ceramic production households, more than 200 ceramic enterprises, 2 People's Artisans, 11 Meritorious Artisans, 27 Hanoi Artisans and more than 100 Vietnamese Craft Village Artisans.

Bat Trang ceramic products are currently made from two types of soil: Truc Thon soil and kaolin soil.

Hand molding technique: The clay is shaped by the artisan using a turntable and hands.

For some products that are produced in large quantities, shaping is done using molds...

After being machined, the product parts will be assembled into a complete product.

Bat Trang ceramic products are crafted by the talented hands of artisans.

Pottery is patterned and glazed by craftsmen. The experience passed down from pottery artisans is “first bone, second skin, third kiln”, meaning that the clay used to make pottery must ensure the solidity of the product, followed by the technique of creating glaze, brown glaze, red glaze, blue glaze, moss glaze, crackle glaze…

The characteristic of Bat Trang ceramics is the handmade decoration.

The creativity of ceramic artisans has created exquisite ceramic products.

After the pattern is drawn and glazed, the product is put into the kiln to create the finished ceramic product.

Each Bat Trang ceramic product has its own unique mark, creating a brand in the Vietnamese ceramic market.

Bat Trang ceramic products are very diverse and rich, favored by domestic and foreign consumers.
