Thanh Ha Pottery Village

The beautiful Thanh Ha Pottery Village won't let you down whether you just want to buy some pottery or are prepared to get your hands dirty and learn how to shape some pottery yourself. The village was founded in the fifteenth century to provide decorative pottery to the Imperial City of Hue.

The whole village has 23 households producing pottery with over 100 employees. Over five centuries, Thanh Ha Pottery Village has continued to use the classic methods of hand and foot pedal shaping pottery without the use of molds. This process gives the pottery goods from this village a distinctive feature. Every year, they make about 400,000 products that are mainly used for decoration and display purposes. The village has developed a number of techniques over the years that allow craftsmen to make something by hand in a stunning rainbow of pinks, greens, and black, from bowls and pots to bricks and tiles. Ceramics from Hoi An are now available all over the world.
