A Symbol of Community

The three entrance gate statue draws from Vietnamese village gates, common in rural areas for centuries. These gates mark community entrances and show traditional building styles with carved details.

They stand for welcome and connection, as villages use them to greet visitors and build unity. Gates also suggest protection, separating the village from outside while creating a sense of safety.

In your space, this ceramic pagoda figurine links to these ideas, fitting into bonsai displays that value balance and history. It adds a real element from East Asian architecture to your setup.

This piece is made by Huy Pottery, a workshop with over 20 years of experience in Bát Tràng village.

Using local natural clay, artisans shape and finish each gate by hand. The slight variations in texture and form are the signs of this manual process. The pieces are then fired in modern, efficient kilns that ensure durability while minimizing environmental impact.

Crafted from durable Hoang Tho clay, your Viet Potter figurine can withstand water and outdoor conditions.

Here's how to clean and care for your ceramic figurine:

3. Air Dry: Allow the figurine to air dry completely.
