Entitled Phuc Loc, the collection includes 42 pottery pieces such as vases, incense burners and dishes. Artist Pham Dat and co-workers spent 180 days working on it.
Dat created the collection with traditional enamel and gold inlays, intended to bring good fortune to owners.
Dat is the owner of Gia Toc Viet Pottery Brand at the Bat Trang Village on the outskirts of Hanoi. He previously made some cracked-enamel vases that received the certification from the Vietnam Book of Records as the biggest vases in the country.
He is devoted to preserving the traditional techniques of Bat Trang Pottery Village and creating unique artworks representing Vietnamese culture.
