Silhouettes of Time

Fine jewelry from iconic fashion houses finds poetic dialogue with ceramic masterpieces by the late People’s Artisan Vũ Thắng—now on view at the Bat Trang Museum of Viet Soul Art (Bát Tràng Museum)—and signature creations from BTMA, the museum’s atelier founded by the artisan himself. A quiet yet evocative interplay of forms and textures breathes elegance and meaning into each composition.

Vũ Thắng’s recreated works draw inspiration from Vietnam’s ancient ceramic heritage—most notably, a parrot-shaped ewer inspired by 12th-century brown-glazed pottery (Lý–Trần dynasties), and celadon teapots reminiscent of the 13th–14th century. Revived through the trained hands and refined sensibility of a master craftsman, these forms are brought back to life with timeless grace.
