Chu Dau Ceramic is a high-class ancient ceramic of Vietnam representing the wet rice civilization since the 13th century and was honored as “Royal symbol product” at the end of 17th century.
Each product contains some meaningful messages as well as typical characteristics in style, color of glaze, and sophisticated patterns imbued with Vietnamese culture.
