V\u0169 Th\u1eafng\u2019s recreated works draw inspiration from Vietnam\u2019s ancient ceramic heritage\u2014most notably, a parrot-shaped ewer inspired by 12th-century brown-glazed pottery (L\u00fd\u2013Tr\u1ea7n dynasties), and celadon teapots reminiscent of the 13th\u201314th century. Revived through the trained hands and refined sensibility of a master craftsman, these forms are brought back to life with timeless grace.<\/p>\r\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”4rem”][vc_single_image image=”5776″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_empty_space height=”1rem”][vc_column_text]\r\n
