Created by Bát Tràng Museum Atelier (BTMA) in collaboration with designer Diệu Anh, AN NAM draws on familiar cultural forms from across East Asia. The collection reinterprets four enduring motifs — Vietnamese Turban, Vietnamese Halter Top, The Bamboo, and Rice Grain Vase — as contemporary ceramic objects, exploring them through simplified forms and material.
Áo yếm draws inspiration from the traditional garment long associated with Vietnamese women. Combining ceramic and brass in an asymmetrical composition, the work reinterprets the soft, flowing silhouette of the yếm as a contemporary sculptural form.

Across the AN NAM collection, each design is distilled to its essential form while retaining its defining characteristics. Every piece is finished using Bát Tràng Museum Atelier’s signature layered glazing technique. Fired at 1300°C, the layered glazes develop subtle tonal variations, giving each work a distinct surface with no two pieces exactly alike.
Unlike the balanced, symmetrical forms commonly found in traditional ceramics, translating this asymmetrical structure into clay required careful calculation, extensive experimentation, and adaptations in the making process to control shrinkage and preserve the intended form after firing.
