History of Bat Trang potttery village:
Bat Trang village is said to be founded in the 14th - 15th century. The genealogy in Bat Trang records that the ancient ancestors of the village migrated from Bo Bat (Bo Xuyen and Bach Bat) to this area. In the Late Le Dynasty, Bo Bat belonged to Yen Mo, Thanh Hoa. But today, it is a part of Ninh Binh province. People say that at this place, they found white clay that was very suitable for pottery making. This is confirmed by traces of terracotta layers.
Many others also share another story about the history of the village. It is said that during the Ly Dynasty, there were Hua Vinh Kieu, Dao Tri Tien, and Luu Phuong Tu. They all were sent to China for business at that time. On their way home, there was a storm, and they had to rest at a ceramic kiln. With their wisdom, all three guys learned the ceramic skill and propagated it to local people. Hua Vinh Kieu transmitted white reef enamel water for Bat Trang people. Dao Tri Tien taught Tho Ha (Bac Giang province) how to make red-yellow enamel water. Luu Phuong Tu passed on to Phu Lang (Que Vo, Bac Ninh) dark yellow-red enamel water. Following this, Bat Trang village was almost 900 years old.
