Ash Glazed Lian Container with Three Legs and Two Taotie Medallion, Vietnam, 1st~3rd century, 17cm. © National Palace Museum, Taipei.

Produced from a kiln site in what is now northern Vietnam, the body is gray-white, and the gray glaze is quite transparent due to the low iron content. The style is close to the celadon works of the Han Dynasty in the Guangdong and Guangxi areas of southern China, showing the image of cultural exchanges. Following the pottery making techniques passed down from China, Vietnam also produces many works similar to those in China.
