INTRODUCTION
VIETNAM CERAMICS
Vietnam has a long history of ceramics
making dated all the way back to the 2nd century AD. Vietnamese
ceramics stands out as one of excellent quality, unique glaze
types and distinctive look.
Nowadays, ceramics for household have been gradually receded
to the past. Ceramics seeks a new way entering into fine arts
and decoration arts. By combining modern art and traditional
material such as terracotta, lacquer, and bamboo etc ..., the
artists have brought ceramics beyond its daily use to decorative
ceramics and gain its place in the contemporary life by exposing
its ingenious beauty, the warm of artisan's bands and possibly a
direct imprint in a creative moment on the potter's wheel.
Vietnamese ceramics is highly appreciated through many
exhibitions in Japan, the United States, Europe and other
countries. |
