Your Bonsai, Your Story

Adding a piece like this to your collection is a personal choice. It's about finding elements that fit the story you want your landscape to tell.

Your purchase also supports a family of artisans, helping ensure their skills continue in a world of mass production.

How will this tiger fit into your world? We find it works well as a solitary guardian or as part of a larger scene. The final story is yours to create.

This small tiger figure comes from Bat Trang, a Vietnamese village known for its ceramics for centuries.

Our partner, Huy Pottery, is a family workshop that has been making these figures for over 20 years. Each one is shaped by hand from local clay, so no two are exactly alike. They are fired in modern, cleaner gas kilns—a process that respects both the environment and the craft. You're getting a piece with a real story, not a factory product.

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:

1. Rinse: Gently rinse the figurine with clean water.
2. Soft Brush: Use a soft brush (an old toothbrush works great!) to gently scrub away any moss or dirt.
3. Air Dry: Allow the figurine to air dry completely.

Please note: Avoid using any chemicals or abrasive cleaning tools, as these may damage the figurine's surface.
