Bat Trang ceramic tea set (teapot + cups, hand-thrown and painted)

Living ceramic heritage bought meters from the kiln — the kind of provenance that costs a fortune anywhere else.

Price: 650000 VND (Mid-range hand-painted tea set bought in Bat Trang village; simple sets from 300,000 VND, artist-signed pieces 1.5M+ VND)

Where to buy: Bat Trang village (13km from Hanoi) — buy directly from workshop showrooms, not the front market

• 700 years of continuous production; walk past the market into the alleys where the kilns are
• Ask the workshop to bubble-wrap and box for flight — they do it daily and it's free
• Village prices are roughly half of what the same pieces cost in Hanoi Old Quarter shops
