Visit Quyet Thanh Pottery Village – 500 Years of Cultural Heritage by the Day River
Nestled peacefully along the Day River in Ninh Binh, Quyet Thanh Pottery Village has been a unique cultural destination for more than 500 years. Beyond preserving the traditional craft, the village keeps alive the soul of the homeland, where every pottery piece carries the breath of nature and the warmth of human spirit.
The spirit of the land in every piece
The clay used in Quyet Thanh pottery comes from the fertile alluvial soil of the delta. Rich in minerals, flexible, and highly fire-resistant, it creates pottery that is durable and distinctive. Fired in traditional kilns, the products turn into a deep brown color, rustic yet soulful. Unlike Bat Trang or Chu Dau ceramics, Quyet Thanh pottery stands out for its simplicity and unique charm.

Creating a piece of Quyet Thanh pottery involves multiple stages: preparing and refining the clay, shaping, drying, decorating, glazing, and finally firing. While some modern tools like clay filters or hydraulic presses have been introduced, most steps remain traditional and handmade, preserving the authentic spirit and uniqueness of the craft.
