Ninh Thuan ancient heritage embraces modern market

04/19/2025 09:57 | TTXVN |

The ancient Bau Truc pottery village in Ninh Phuoc district, the south-central province of Ninh Thuan, has breathed fresh air into a craft recently added to the UNESCO’s List of Intangible Cultural Heritage in Need of Urgent Safeguarding. Local residents have not only preserved traditional craftsmanship but also created innovative products and developed community-based tourism. The village, one of the oldest of its kind in Southeast Asia, maintains entirely handcrafted production methods without using pottery wheels. With clay and tools made from bamboo, seashells, and plant-based dyes, skilled Cham ethnic artisans shape soulful objects through kneading, turning, and moulding. Along with items for the Cham religious practices and popular household items like jars, pots, and stoves, Bau Truc artisans have combined cultural elements and techniques to improve designs and quality, and diversify their products to include vases, water bottles and lamps that feature Cham cultural symbols.
