Handcrafted with Pride
Each piece is meticulously crafted by our master artisans in Bau Truc Village using traditional techniques passed down through generations. This item is made without a pottery wheel, using only the hands and traditional tools, preserving the authentic Cham pottery heritage that spans over 800 years.
The traditional Cham pottery making process begins with the skilled potters, primarily women, who collect the clay from the banks of the Quao River. Unlike many other pottery traditions, Cham potters don't use a pottery wheel. Instead, they shape the clay using their hands and simple bamboo tools.
After shaping, the pottery is dried in the sun before being fired in an open bonfire using rice straw and wood. This traditional firing technique gives Cham pottery its distinctive reddish-brown color and rustic appearance. It's a craft that has remained largely unchanged for centuries.
The Cham people have preserved their unique pottery-making techniques for over 800 years, passing the craft from generation to generation. Today, Bau Truc Village is recognized as one of Southeast Asia's oldest pottery villages still in operation.
