(VOV) – Several Vietnamese ancient ceramics are garnering a great deal of attention from visitors to an exhibition themed – China Mania! The Global Passion for Porcelain 900-1900 – ongoing in Singapore from August 2 to September 14.
The intricately designed ceramic objects reflect the creativity of ancient Vietnamese artisans.
The highlight of the exhibition is a Vietnamese blue and white bottle neck vase which was made in the north of Vietnam sometime in the 15th century. According to the organizing board, it is not exactly clear how the blue colour was made.
However, creating such a colour is quite sophisticated and Vietnamese are the only artisans from Southeast Asia from that time period known to be capable of producing it.
Asian Civilizations Museum (ACM) curator Ms Kan Shuyia also highlighted Vietnamese artisans’ creativity and arts, stressing that many Vietnamese ceramic products have been found in the Philippines, Java, Sulawesi, Malaysia, Japan and Turkey.
Vietnam has played an important role in making ceramic products in the world, especially in Southeast Asia. Since the 14th century, the country has become one of the largest centres for making and exporting porcelains, she said.
