Authentic Bat Trang - Ceramic shop

Had a great time at my first pottery workshop (USD 35 for 3 hours including one finished product which you can bring home); the patient and friendly teacher made the workshop incredibly enjoyable!

We had a great experience during the Authentic Bat Trang ceramic pottery workshop. It was a great day where we got straight to work after a small introduction. Very happy with the results and would recommend. Bringing home nice souvenirs that we made ourselves!

Partner and I signed up for the ceramics workshop on same day at the store and it was super fun, with very helpful and friendly staff. For $35USD per person, you can make as many items on the pottery wheel as you want within a 2.5-3hour time period. They provide 1 free firing and glazing (4 choices of glaze) and every additional piece glazed & fired is $5USD, regardless of size. Firing takes 1-3 days. They will demonstrate how to make a cup, a bowl and a vase, but you can create anything you want, and they will also advise you if the piece is good or how to fix it. Definitely something worth trying if you’re in Hanoi for more than 2-3 days!

Beautiful ceramics and friendly owner. Wish I could buy many items. Gorgeous plates, mugs, bowls, serving dishes etc.

My husband and I took a pottery class here. Our teacher was so lovely and patient. We got a lot of time to play and make pieces which was fun. They are going to ship them to us which is much appreciated. The piece in the shop were also beautiful and of much higher quality than other places near by. I cannot recommend highly enough!

Love!

We’re from the UK and this was one of our last stops during our year of travelling! We went here just to have a look but just had to buy something to remember Vietnam and a gift!

Obviously we were nervous about the transport but they made it!

The owners/workers wrapped our two teapots and 4 mugs, and saucer tightly with plenty of padding using cardboard. Obviously they do this multiple times a week for those travelling.

We made it through the airports home with them in our hand luggage and we were chuffed when we finally unwrapped them and they did have a chip or crack!

They have a great selection. There are a few pieces that are ‘branded’ but there are plenty simple one off pieces to choose from too. It is a little overwhelming so much selection.

I would recommend going in without a backpack. We saw a close call when a tourist tried to come in with a large backpack and almost taking out a whole shelf!

My partner and I attended the pottery workshop and we really enjoyed it. It was our first time trying pottery and the instructor was very friendly & helpful and spoke great english. We ended up taking home every piece we made as well as purchasing a few handmade items from the store. Highly recommend checking them out.

One of the best experiences I had in Hanoi! The teacher was excellent and helped me make a number of great pieces in the 2.5 hours. Extra care was taken in the packing of my items which was a really nice touch.

I did a pottery tour to Bat Trang pottery village on March 13 organised and lead by the owner of Authentic Bat Trang. It was very goog - really great actually. The tour incuded the whole production process (very interesting), a walk through the old village quaters with its narrow lanes ending by the old village hall right on the banks of Hông Hà (the Red River), and then lunch at a very nice place in the old quaters with a really good ambience and excellent traditional local food.
Amble of opportunities for shopping theit beautiful ceramics both at the warehouse in Bat Trang and in the shop in Old Town, Hanoi. They packed my purchases really well so not to break when flying back to Europe. I can really recommend their Pottery Tour to Bat Trang! / Karin

Beautiful shop with lots of stunning pieces in a variety of styles and colors. Shopkeeper had very good English and was friendly and helpful. Prices were great for the quality of the product. I was also very impressed with how well he packed my purchases so that the gifts will travel safely. Very impressed with this shop and will return!

Did the pottery class here and absolutely loved it. So much freedom to make what we wanted and to experiment, but also guidance when needed. Will definitely return

Myself and my family came here and did the pottery workshop after booking through TripAdvisor. The workshop was so fun, and we got a lot of help, which was great. Alongside the 2.5-hour workshop, you have around 30 minutes to go to the shop and choose what glaze you want for your piece. They then take it away, fire and glaze it for you, and you can collect it in a few days. You can get extra pieces done for a small fee. Overall, it was one of the most fun experiences we had in Ha Noi and for an excellent price. Thank you so much!

Nice place if you don't have time to Bat Trang, the price is reasonable also. I took my US friends to this place and they really enjoyed it.
(You should try in your early days in Hanoi since it will takes 3 days to dry)

I visited this shop and was satisfied with the product here. The products are beautiful with harmonious colours (I love the cat jar I bought). The owner is also friendly and warm. Highly recommend travellers come here when coming to Vietnam.

Wonderful pottery class, a very good and welcoming teacher who is happy to help and teach tourists on how to make the pottery. Although it would be great if the teacher could give a warning that the pieces made in the class will shrink and be much smaller than expected. Nonetheless, the shop is very nice and quaint, with many beautiful pieces for a very affordable price.

We did the pottery class and it was great fun! The staff are all so helpful and fun. You get one piece fired for free but can make as many as you like for a very reasonable fee after that. Make sure you go at the start of your time in Hanoi because it can take up to a week to fire the pottery, but if you're only staying for a short time, ask if they'll post your creations to you, they were very happy to do so.

Really fun and wholesome experience! Owners really nice, defo recommend!

The pottery workshop was fantastic! Really chilled and calm, and you could make anything you wanted with a bit of guidance and help. We unfortunately arrived on our last day in Hanoi, but the owner shipped to our hotel in HCM for a reasonable price. The package was amazingly well wrapped too, I’d have no worries about sending more if we visit again!

Thank you to all the staff, what a great experience 👍

Great little ceramics store on P. Hàng Gai. Selling all sorts of handmade products from Bát Tràng, where theyve got a second shop. The glazes are so beautiful, and although we didnt buy anything purely decorative, some of the painted platters and vases are gorgeous

The shopkeeper was extremely helpful as we browsed, bringing out similar items to what we were looking at from the upstairs level. He also did a great job of securely packing everything for our flight.

If you are in town for a few days, you could also book a ceramics class and try your hand at crafting something yourself.

The one piece of advice id give is to check out the bottom of any piece you are looking to buy. The 'real' ones will say; "Authentic Bát Tràng", whereas they also carry some that are not home-made, or ordered from elsewhere

This pottery shop is a true masterpiece of artistry and elegance. From the exquisite craftsmanship to the diverse range of styles, it is a haven for pottery enthusiasts seeking exceptional, handmade creations. Highly recommended for those who appreciate the timeless beauty of meticulously crafted ceramics.
