From Hanoi to Vancouver

Bat Trang, a small village just outside Hanoi, has been making pottery for over a thousand years. Generations of artisans have shaped clay here, passing down their heritages to other generations.

From this riverside village, each chawan has traveled more than 10,000 kilometers — from Hanoi all the way to Vancouver — carrying with it the warmth of Vietnamese artistry and cultural specificity.

The Art of The Fire Glaze

Every bowl from Bat Trang tells its own story. Among the many techniques kept alive here, men hỏa biến is one of the most remarkable material that is widely used for pottery arts in Vietnam.

This special glaze forms naturally in the kiln as iron oxide and titanium react to intense heat. The result is completely unpredictable — no two pieces ever turn out the same. The flame paints what no brush can, giving each bowl its own quiet, organic character.

Each chawan is shaped by hand, perfected by fire, and finished with a surface that seems alive — rich, deep, and full of movement.

Bringing together Vietnamese craftsmanship and the spirit of Japanese tea, our Bat Trang chawan collection is a meeting of two traditions that both honor stillness, patience, and care.

These aren’t just bowls; they’re vessels shaped by hand, touched by fire, and carried across oceans to share our valuable cultures
