The village was established during the reign of the Nguyễn Dynasty and quickly gained fame for its high-quality pottery products. These were not only essential for daily use but also became sought-after items for trading, contributing significantly to the local economy. The village's proximity to the Thu Bồn River made it an ideal location for trading, allowing the artisans to export their products to various regions, thus spreading their fame far and wide.

The artisans here use local clay, which is known for its durability and fine texture. The entire process, from preparing the clay to firing the finished products, is done by hand, reflecting the skills and dedication of the local craftsmen.

Unique Products and Designs

The pottery products of Thanh Hà are diverse, ranging from everyday items like pots, pans, and vases to intricate decorative pieces and sculptures. The designs often reflect elements of Vietnamese culture and nature, with motifs such as dragons, phoenixes, and local landscapes being popular themes.

The Pottery-Making Experience

Preserving Tradition in the Modern World

Despite the challenges of modernization, Thanh Hà Pottery Village has managed to preserve its traditional techniques. This commitment to tradition not only keeps the village's cultural heritage alive but also attracts tourists from all over the world, keen on experiencing this authentic slice of Vietnamese culture.

The Impact on Tourism and Culture

Very good experience, wonderful part of Hoi an which deserves more recognition
Spettacolare. Consiglio è davvero molto grande non è sufficiente un giorno per girarla tutta.
Super activité avec les enfants.
Đơn giản chỉ là một làng nghề gốm thủ công của người dân nơi đây nên chưa có nhiều hoạt động lắm. Ở đây các bạn có thể biết được quy trình tạo ra những bình gốm từ lúc lấy đất sét lên đến tạo hình rồi cho vào nung trong lò với nhiệt độ khoảng 1000 độ sau đó cho ra những tác phẩm từ đất rất tuyệt vời. Các bạn có thể mua vé để đi công viên với 55k rất nhiều địa điểm check-in tuyệt vời…

Nice place to cycle round. Suggest getting a ticket then can try your turn at the pottery wheel in some of the shops. Nice gifts they gave us (if you buy a ticket). We also bought some ceramic tea diffusers and coffee percolators, which are very cute
도자기마을 흥미로운 곳 롯데관광을 통해 패키지여행을 했는데 관광만으로도 기부가 되는 곳이라고 소개받음 피리같은 동물인형 받음

Hands on experience of pottery making. Note, you should walk around the village first rather than going to the first place you see as you can make many different things (wheel pottery, whistles, masks etc) in different locations. They will ask if you want to fire and buy after making, but you can say no, or maybe just take one for the whole group, then make something else at another spot.

Really cool place to visit - you can try your hand at making pottery on the wheel or buy some cool gifts
볼거리가 많아요!!
If you find a good shop, that can be a really good experience to do some pottery, cooking it and painting it.

Chouette village de poterie. Vous pouvez essayer gratuitement. Ou alors réaliser une confection pour la ramener en souvenir contre une petite somme d'argent. Activité sympa et petit cadeau en bonus

35 000 l'entrée avec une petite poterie offerte. Beau petit village pour expérimenter la poterie !
There are many different pottery houses but the one I went to was at the very back and than turn right and walk to the end. The young lady there was really nice and it was super enjoyable. She was very nice and let my baby niece paint a clay structure. At the end of the experience after you leave, you get souvenirs depending on the amount of tickets you bought.
그저그랬음.
Có bán vé ở cổng, giá 35k, đi vào trong có thể trải nghiệm làm đồ gốm, có thể mang đem về luôn, trải nghiệm thì không tốn tiền nhưng đem nung, sấy xong đem về thì có tính phí, RẤT ĐÁNG ĐI!!
