Earth, fire and human hands.
Every vase is thrown on the wheel, sun-dried for 7 days and wood-fired for 12 hours in Mr. Tư's family kiln in Thanh Hà.
The potter
Mr. Tư and the 1962 kiln.
Old Kiln is the last wood-fired kiln in Thanh Hà that still burns every week. Mr. Lê Văn Tư, 71, still throws every vase on a foot-powered wheel.
We keep the natural colour of fired clay, rice-straw ash glazes and fire marks that never repeat.
