The
Bat Trang ceramics village, a 500-year-old village, is located
about 10 km northeast of Hanoi on the left bank of the Red
River.
Bat Trang ceramics are truly the pride of Vietnam.
According to Vietnam's famous history book, Dai Viet Su Ky
Toan Thu, the name of Bat or Bat Trang Commune was first known
in 1352. However, unofficial records said that in the Ly dynasty
(1010-1225), villagers from Bo Bat commune in Ninh Binh Province
resettled in this area and called it Bat Trang Commune.
The villagers chose
the area because they found porcelain clay - a good material
to produce high quality porcelain and ceramics. The land is
also easy to access by a water way as it lies next to the
Nhi or Hong (Red) River.
Bat Trang ceramics
were sought for by people of all walks of life from royal
families in Thang Long (Hanoi) city to farmers. Since the
15th century, ceramic house-utensils made by the Bat Trang
village were also among the tributes to Chinese kings.

for a thousand years, and is a touching sound to villagers
when returning from far away.
The main road is surrounded by greenery and ponds, and colourful
bolts of silk drying on the road. In fact, the village’s
fine silk, commonly known as Ha Dong Silk, has inspired many
poets and composers to write about its beauty.
