The pottery products made by Binh Duc villagers are often called Go (which means ‘pot’ in the Cham language) to distinguish them from the other pottery items in Vietnam. That’s why Binh Duc is also known as Go pottery village (Photo: VNA)

Go pottery products are renowned for being made entirely by hand (Photo: VNA)

The products are exposed to the sun until dry and will be burned (Photo:VNA)

Wood is wrapped around pottery products, with a layer of pottery alternating with a layer of wood (Photo: VNA)

The time of firing depends on the size of the product. It takes one hour for a small pottery item and two or three hours for a bigger one (Photo:VNA)

To create special patterns on new pottery products, the craftsmen sprinkle a special liquid on the surface which is made from sandbox fruit and golden-apple fruit (Photo:VNA)
