The Enduring Form of Vietnamese Pottery

For over ten years, the Panelled Vase has been a signature design of Hien Van Ceramics—a result of a quiet, persistent study of ancient Vietnamese pottery. The artisans drew inspiration from the simple elegance of pieces from the Ly and Tran dynasties, a period known for its refined and minimalist ceramic art.

They adopted two classic motifs: the soft, curved double-lotus petals at the neck, and the distinct vertical panels that give the vase its form and name. These historical patterns are applied to a classic shape, perfectly proportioned for modern flower arranging and display.

The deep blue color is not just a simple glaze; it is a rice husk ash glaze, inspired by the deep, calm sea. This traditional technique ensures that no two vases are exactly alike. Each piece carries the subtle marks of the flame and the hands that made it.

The Panelled Vase was not created to be fashionable. It was made to be timeless. It is a piece of Vietnamese heritage, re-envisioned for the modern home—a quiet testament to the belief that classic beauty never fades.
