The exhibits have been made at renowned ceramic-making centers in the Southern region such as Cay Mai, Bien Hoa, Thanh Le and Lai Thieu. They date back to the late 19th century and the early 20th century.

Another 100 objects are told to have been created at different periods of time in Vietnam’s history, from the Dong Son civilization (about 2,000 – 2,500 years ago) to the dynasties of Ly, Tran, Le So, Mac, Le Trung Hung and Nguyen, the last dynasty.

The event has been organized by Nguyen Thi Thu Hoa from Hanoi and 60 private collectors across the country.
