According to Nguyen Van Luu, Director of the Chu Dau Pottery Enterprise, Russia is a major importer of Chu Dau Pottery. The year’s first shipment to this market includes 2,500 sets of products worth US$30,000.

The enterprise exports the ceramic products, which are known for its striking shapes, colours, patterns and meticulous vignettes to Russia, Japan, and the Republic of Korea and European countries.

The enterprise is urgently building a so-called “ceramic garden” highlighting the 500-year old pottery making art of Chu Dau to celebrate the 1,000th anniversary of Thang Long-Hanoi in October this year, he added.

Chu Dau pottery products are now preserved at 42 prestigious museums in 32 countries worldwide. Together with the Ngoc Lu Bronze Drum, Chu Dau Pottery is displayed at the UN headquarters representing Vietnamese culture.
