Yao Pottery Art Exhibition
TiTa Art, 164A Tran Vu, Ba Dinh, Hanoi

In the 1100s, Nhu pottery was made exclusively for the Royal Family. Believed to have been inspired by the dream of Emperor Huy Tong (1082-1135), an outstanding poet, calligrapher, painter and musician. One night, the emperor saw in his sleep a mysterious blue shadow through a fissure in the clouds after a downpour. When he woke up, he wrote about the scene in a poem, and instructed his potters to make porcelain of the color as described. Craftsmen all over the country had to scratch their heads for a long time, until the kiln in Nhu Chau sent the first work in the glaze color "Vu too heavenly van van" – Sky after rain (half blue, half-bar slightly pink).


TITA's Yao works are continued, researched and crafted from rare agate mineral soil and yeast in the Nh area, in accordance with tradition. The goal is to achieve the color of Wu enamel, half blue, half bar, slightly pink, pure beauty smooth like jade.


Especially each one is always unique, depending on the location of the oven, there is a glossier one, there is a softer one, there is an even rift, there is a horizontal rift, there is a vertical reef, there is also an almost non-cracking one. True to the characteristics of The Yao are auctioned for tens of millions of dollars on auction floors.
