Chu Dau pottery products set Vietnamese record
Three Chu Dau pieces, a plate and two vases, have been recognised
as the largest pottery products by the Vietnam Book of Records, Hanoi Trade
Corporation (Hapro) said on September 7.
The plate, measuring 1.15m in diametre, bears familiar images of Vietnamese land
and people such as soldiers, Hanoi girls, dragons, birds, shrimps and flowers.
It was made on the occasion of the 1,000 th anniversary of Thang Long-Hanoi.
Of the two vases, one was made in the 15 th century, measuring 0.86m in diametre
and 1.5m in height. The vase is now on display at the Topkapisaray Museum in
Turkey.
The other is a 1.78 m vase, which is decorated with patterns featuring the
beauty of the four seasons and landscapes in Vietnam.
Chu Dau pottery was known in the end of the 14 th century and reached its peak
during the 15 th and 16 th centuries. Chu Dau ceramics not only inherited the
quintessence of those during the Ly-Tran dynasties but also was upgraded into a
strain of previous pottery with bright enamel and beautiful patterns..
