Vietnamese ceramics
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vietnamese pottery refers to pottery designed or produced in Vietnam. Vietnamese pottery and ceramics has a long history spanning back to thousands of years ago, including long before Chinese domination, as archeological evidence supports.
Much of Vietnamese pottery and ceramics after the Chinese-domination era was largely influenced by Chinese art, but has developed over time to be distinctly Vietnamese.[1].
Vietnamese pottery and ceramics were an essential part of the trade between Vietnam and its neighbors during feudalistic times, throughout many dynasties.

[edit] An'nan ware
One of the more famous items is An'nan ware (安南), which was exported to Japan and used in Japanese tea ceremony although the high-footed bowls were originally used for food. The bowls had an everted rim, high foot, were underglazed with cobalt floral decorations, lappets above base, unglazed stacking rings in well and were brown washed on the base. The diameters can range from 9 to 15 centimetres. They were produced from the 16-17th century CE.
