(ĐNO) - Just 3 km west of Hoi An's ancient town, Thanh Ha pottery village (Da Nang city) has preserved over 500 years of pottery craftsmanship, blending rustic charm with artistic tradition.
Nestled along the Thu Bon river, Thanh Ha is well-known for its handmade pottery, crafted from local reddish-brown clay known for its high flexibility. Once fired, products reveal a signature orange colour. They are durable, unglazed, yet visually striking.
Pottery here remains entirely handmade. Artisans skilfully shape clay using foot-powered wheels to create items like flower pots, teapots, figurines, lanterns, and decorative animals. Intricate pieces are sculpted by hand, dried under the sun, and carefully refined before firing.
Besides household items, Thanh Ha offers artistic pieces such as pottery dragons, phoenixes, lanterns, and miniature models of Hoi An. Prices range from 20,000 VND for small souvenirs to over 500,000 VND for elaborate decorations.
Thanh Ha is more than a craft village. It's a vibrant cultural destination. Visitors can witness traditional pottery-making and even try creating their own pieces.
Bamboo-lined paths, peaceful rural scenes, and bustling workshops create an unforgettable experience.
Despite modern challenges, local artisans passionately preserve and innovate the craft, combining traditional and contemporary designs to meet tourism and market demands.
A visit to Thanh Ha reveals not only the beauty of Vietnamese pottery but also the dedication and skill passed down through generations, a living heritage of clay, fire, and cultural pride.
