This Charming ceramic teapot is shaped like a horse with blue floral and leaf motif under a clear crackle glaze. It is 7 1 / 2 in. l x 4 in. w x 4 1 / 4 in.



This was created in Viet Nam by Craft Link



Craft Link began in 1995 working with ethnic minorities- black Thai, Nung, and Ta Oi- in the remote Central Highlands of Vietnam. Working closely with the Vietnam Museum of Ethnology in Hanoi, Craft Link helps preserve the traditional tribal skills of weaving and embroidery. Craft Link also provides marketing, design, and management advice to street children in Hanoi who are learning stone carving skills, to handicapped girls learning to quilt, and to a group of physically-disabled woodcarvers from Hue. Ceramics come from Bat Trang, a small village near Hanoi, on the Red River, which has been famous for its ceramics since the 15th century. Over 90% of the villagers in Bat Trang earn a living from ceramics production.

This teapot is an example of the fine gifts we offer. Please read the history of the artisans who created it to the left.
