The Beauty of Hoang Tho Clay: A Vietnamese Tradition

At The Viet Potter, every bonsai figurine is crafted from Hoang Tho clay, a premium Vietnamese "yellow clay" rich in iron oxide.

This unique material gives our bonsai decorations their warm, natural tones—yellows, reds, and browns—while ensuring exceptional durability.

Fired at high temperatures, our ceramic bonsai figurines resist fading, cracking, and water damage, making them ideal for indoor and outdoor use.

Sustainably sourced and free of harmful additives, Hoang Tho clay reflects our eco-friendly commitment. Shop our bonsai decorations to experience this timeless tradition.
