Vietnamese Ceramics


These are 2 of the 5 pieces that's left after having sent the other 6 to the shop, 2 large bowls and 4 oval plates.  Surprise!  They were all gone in three days.  Shopping season again I guess.  Now I am wondering if I should send the rest but keep only the oval turquoise platter?
Bat Trang is a ceramic village some 15km outside Hanoi.  An easy and pleasant ride from the city. If one likes ceramics, half a day spends here is an enjoyable visit.
These pieces are low fired, while interesting and unusual in its design, they are not particularly tough.
