The turtle has become a sacred and revered symbol in the minds of Vietnamese people. The turtle is one of the four divine beasts guarding the four directions. The four spirits are Dragon, Lan, Quy, and Phung, holding the east, west, north, and south directions. Turtles are sacred animals that bring good luck and fortune to the owner.
The Tortoise mascot had entered the subconscious of Vietnamese people since the country’s founding, when God Kim Quy helped An Duong Vuong build the Co Loa citadel in Dong Anh, Hanoi. Before that, for some reason, the king sent his soldiers to build the fort many times but needed help to do so. Until Than Kim Quy appeared, they helped An Duong Vuong finish building the citadel and give the king the magic crossbow to defeat the enemy. Therefore, the Tortoise symbol in feng shui symbolizes success and fame.
The raw material used to create the Turtle mascot is fine clay found only on the banks of the Quao river mixed with small-grained white sand in an esoteric ratio, so Cham pottery has a silvery brown colour, not a smooth red-brown like other pottery lines. When coming out of the oven, Bau Truc pottery has a characteristic colour of red-gold, rose-red, black-grey, and brown streaks, and on the product, there is also a metallic lustre of the tin when the light shines on.
The unique feature of the Bau Truc pottery tradition is that there is no pattern when shaping. Pottery artists use their hands to create unique products. Therefore, the product’s contours are not soft and smooth but rough and rough.
These products are fired open-air with straw and firewood at a temperature of about 500 – 600 degrees Celsius for 6 hours. The product is taken out and sprayed with colour and then continued to bake and ferment for another 2 hours so there are burn marks.
Each Bau Truc ceramic product is a different fire colour, a speciality of sunny and windy Ninh Thuan.
Patterns and patterns on ceramics are often randomly shaped with simple tools through the skilful and talented hands of the craftsman.
