In order to reproduce the poisedness of the original headwear, ceramists of B\u00e1t Tr\u00e0ng Museum Atelier have had to dedicate much of their time and efforts to study and materialize this elegance. Its groundedness despite the seemingly instable suspension in its display is largely thanks to the multitude of techniques employed, including meticulously breaking down the design into basic shapes and piecing them together using a solid iron base after firing.<\/span><\/h5>\r\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”4rem”][\/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-3 vc_col-sm-offset-2″][vc_column_text]\r\n

\r\n\r\nB\u00ecnh g\u1ed1m H\u1ea1t l\u00faa<\/strong> (Rice Grain Vase) – Inspired by the sublime purity of the rice grain, a symbol of prosperity and abundance in many East Asian societies, no variants of the Rice Grain Vase are truly alike, as the layered glazes of these vases are each uniquely transformed by the kiln\u2019s flame. Despite the dissimilarity, their forms all resemble that of a grain, delicately tilted but firmly grounded to a sturdy steel base to create a sense of elegance and prestige.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″ offset=”vc_col-md-offset-1 vc_col-md-4 vc_col-sm-offset-2 vc_col-xs-offset-1 vc_col-xs-10″][vc_single_image image=”4534″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_section el_class=”.grid-collection”][vc_row equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle”][vc_column width=”2\/3″ offset=”vc_col-md-3 vc_col-sm-offset-2″][vc_column_text]\r\n

\r\n\r\nC\u00e2y Tre<\/strong> (The Bamboo) – Highly iconic in Oriental cultures, these \u0111\u1ed1t tre\u2019s (bamboo internodes) can come either singularly or in sets of two or three, with each internode acting as a multifunctional module. When placed next to one another, the internodes can be used as gorgeous displays for jewellery, but when hung on the wall or simply stacked together, they then become fantastic pieces of interior ornaments, ideal to lightening up the living spaces. <\/span>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″ offset=”vc_col-md-offset-1 vc_col-md-4 vc_col-sm-offset-2 vc_col-xs-offset-1 vc_col-xs-10″][vc_single_image image=”4540″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”4rem”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”4rem”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″ offset=”vc_col-sm-offset-3″ css=”.vc_custom_1635415240768{padding-right: 2rem !important;padding-left: 2rem !important;}”][vc_column_text]\r\n
