Dragons and Lotus Blossoms: Vietnamese Ceramics from the Birmingham Museum of Art Vietnam created the most sophisticated ceramics in Southeast Asia. Though they borrowed from China, Vietnamese potters explored their own indigenous tastes and developed their own production techniques. Through generous gifts and judicious purchases that began in the 1970s, the Museum now has one of the top three collections of Vietnamese ceramics in the United States. From Chinese-inspired shapes of two thousand years ago to the most ornate overglaze-enamel decorated jar anywhere in the world, the collection is rich in the various wares that make up the unique Vietnamese ceramic heritage.
