The essence of Chu Dau pottery

Chu Dau is a brand that has spread far and wide and has connected the quintessence of pottery, bringing traditional Vietnamese ceramic products to Vietnamese and international tourists.
Chu Dau pottery is an ancient Vietnamese pottery craft dating back to the 12th century, flourishing in the 14th and 15th centuries and lost in the 17th century. With nearly 600 years of history, this ceramic brand was rediscovered in the 1980s in the form of a blue ceramic vase on display at the Topaki Saray Museum in Istanbul, Turkey, with the signature of Bui Thi Hy, the creator of Chu Dau pottery.

Recognizing the meaning and value of Chu Dau Pottery, in 2001, Hanoi Trade Joint Stock Corporation (Hapro), a member of BRG Group, established Chu Dau Ceramics Joint Stock Company with a mission to revive the lost ancient pottery brand and develop the craft village of Chu Dau in Thai Tan commune, Nam Sach district, Hai Duong province, into a ceramic tourism attraction.
