This elegance\u00a0 in their stances has been captured by the ceramists of B\u00e1t Tr\u00e0ng Museum Atelier in the body of the lamp, which was molded with the village\u2019s signature clay, encarved with the traditional chrysanthemum motif and complimented with depth via the layering of glazes. As for the shade of the lamp, it was made by the craftsmen of Leap Art who hailed from the renowned Th\u01b0\u1eddng T\u00edn village of embroidery, the birthplace of Vietnam\u2019s hand embroidery arts. Adorned on the velvet shade is again the chrysanthemum pattern, echoed from the lamp\u2019s body, thus seamlessly unifying the two parts.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”4rem”][vc_single_image image=”3519″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”8rem” el_class=”hide-mobile”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”2\/3″ offset=”vc_col-sm-offset-2″][vc_empty_space height=”4rem”][vc_column_text]Each lamp shade with this floral pattern takes a skilled craftsman 67 hours to complete, using a sophisticated combination of three techniques: traditional surface embroidery, bead embroidery and appliqu\u00e9. All of these needleworks require to be conducted with meticulousness, so that every detail and pattern on the velvet surface is exquisitely made. Equally delicate is the lamp body made from B\u00e1t Tr\u00e0ng\u2019s ceramic, coated in glazes of jade and intricately embellished with subsurface engraving and color layering. It would not be farfetch to say that these techniques are the measures of a craftsman\u2019s skills, as in order to realize the conceptual design in their mind, the artisan is required to employ their experience and emotions with finesse while utilizing these skills. Furthermore, no two lamps are identical since their stacking glazes always shift unpredictably under the pressure of heat, resulting in a multitude of variants unparalleled in depth and gloss, making each of them truly one-of-a-kind. These two components of the lamp are attached to one another through a secret tube hidden inside the lamp body, balanced by the solid steel base. This base is carefully positioned to create an illusion of both instability and groundedness.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”4rem”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″ offset=”vc_col-xs-6″][vc_single_image image=”3497″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″ offset=”vc_col-xs-6″][vc_single_image image=”3517″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”8rem” el_class=”hide-mobile”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column offset=”vc_hidden-lg vc_hidden-md vc_hidden-sm”][vc_empty_space height=”6rem”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_section el_class=”.grid-collection”][vc_row equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle”][vc_column width=”2\/3″ offset=”vc_col-md-4 vc_col-sm-offset-2″][vc_column_text]Throughout their career of preserving and advancing the ancient ceramic arts of B\u00e1t Tr\u00e0ng as well as honoring the many traditional crafts of Vietnam, B\u00e1t Tr\u00e0ng Museum Atelier never ceases learning and experimenting with the materials from fellow crafts villages.
