Bat Trang pottery village is said to be established in the 14th or 15th century in several documents. However, according to the villagers, the village perhaps appeared earlier. There are always two stories related to the village origin. One of these tells that under the Ly dynasty, in 1100, when the nation was in its independence and initial growth period, there were 3 scholars who came back from their mission trip to China bringing the ceramic craft industry learned there back to Vietnam and taught the people of Bat Trang. In the other story, the village's history dates back to the 10th century, when King Ly Cong Uan relocated the capital to Thang Long. With the establishment and development of the capital, many businessmen, crafters from many areas come to settle down here to work and trade. In Bat Trang pottery village, there was a lot of white clay, so that many potters, among whom was Nguyen Ninh Trang family, came and built the kilns here. evolved, Bat Trang has gradually changed from a normal ceramic and pottery village into a famous ceramic and pottery center until now.
