Thanh Ha Pottery Village developed around the traditional production of household ceramics, bricks and roof tiles. Its location near the Thu Bon River supported the movement of raw materials and the transport of pottery to surrounding communities and trading centres. Over more than five centuries, the craft has become an integral part of Hoi An’s cultural identity, passing from one generation of local artisans to the next.

The village is known for its distinctive terracotta products, including pots, jars, bowls, decorative objects and small ceramic figurines. Artisans continue to demonstrate traditional techniques, shaping clay on pottery wheels and transforming simple materials into functional and artistic pieces. The workshops provide a close look at the skill, patience and practical knowledge behind this long-established craft.

A major attraction in the area is Thanh Ha Terracotta Park, which combines pottery exhibitions, ceramic artworks and miniature models of well-known architectural landmarks. Together with the village’s working workshops and traditional production spaces, it illustrates how Thanh Ha’s pottery heritage continues to evolve while remaining rooted in local craftsmanship. In 2019, Thanh Ha pottery was recognised as a National Intangible Cultural Heritage of Vietnam.
