Ceramic products on display at the exhibition |
Among them, many are typical ceramic products of the Ly Dynasty (11th-12th centuries). Overall, celadon glaze ceramics are covered with incised and densely covered decorative patterns. Ivory-yellow glazed ceramics are somewhat simpler with embossed ornamental motifs.
At the exhibition, visitors learn more about the origin of some kinds of ceramics. Accordingly, Ly dynasty ceramics also include white glazed, dark brown glazed and emerald-green glazed ceramics. Created at the end of the 12th century, the style of this kind of ceramics was not clearly defined until the 13th-14th centuries. Meanwhile, the early beginning of cobalt-blue white glazed ceramic style dated from the end of the 14th century.
