This postage stamp set is also the third set in a series of stamps on the theme of Vietnam's national treasures, issued by the Ministry of Information and Communications to contribute to promoting and introducing the unique features of national treasures to a wide audience at home and abroad.

National treasures are artifacts that contain great historical, cultural and artistic values for the nation. Each national treasure is a valuable heritage containing messages from the past, the quintessence of the rich, diverse and unique Vietnamese culture, reflecting the long-standing cultural history, the tradition of building and defending the country of the Vietnamese people.

National treasures are assessed by the National Cultural Heritage Council and submitted to the Prime Minister for recognition, protected and preserved under a special regime, helping to preserve the heritage and pass it on to future generations.

Among the ceramic artifacts selected to be introduced on the stamp set "National Treasures (set of 3): Ceramics", the Brown Flower Ceramic Thong was recognized as a national treasure in the 5th batch in December 2016; the Dau Ram ceramic vase, the Long Thanh terracotta vase collection and the Nhon Thanh ceramic vase were all recognized as national treasures in the 7th batch in December 2018.
