PACKAGINGS

This is the box for a small scarf bought at the Institute of Khmer Traditional Textiles (http://iktt.esprit-libre.org/en/) in Siem Reap, Cambodia.  The little bird sat inside the box on top of the folded scarf.

A different design.

For earrings, Bali.

Bag given to customer to carry ceramics at a shop in Bat Trang ceramic village, Hanoi, Vietnam.

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.
