Nearly 200 typical antiques are introduced, ranging from prehistoric times to the 10th century with Sa Huynh and Oc Eo pottery; Ly - Tran pottery lines such as Bat Trang, Chu Dau, Phu Lang; Le - Mac pottery lines with Chau O and Quang Duc pottery, and rich Southern pottery lines of the 17th - 19th centuries such as Lai Thieu, Bien Hoa, Cho Lon, Cay Mai... These artifacts are selected from the collections of 49 collectors, along with museums: Hue Royal Antiquities, Nam Hong Royal, and Huong River ancient pottery. In particular, the sophisticated ceramic products of People's Artisan Tran Do (Bat Trang pottery village) also contribute to creating a unique highlight, demonstrating the continuity and constant creativity of modern Vietnamese pottery.

According to Mr. Hoang Viet Trung, Director of the Hue Monuments Conservation Center, each ceramic artifact not only preserves historical and cultural imprints but also reflects the talented hands and soul of Vietnam through each period. The exhibition is expected to ignite pride in heritage and arouse love for the ceramic craft - an enduring symbol of Vietnamese identity. Not only a space for viewing, "Vietnamese Ceramic Journey" is also an opportunity for researchers and antique collectors to interact and exchange knowledge about a unique type of cultural heritage.

On this occasion, a number of collectors donated artifacts to the Hue Royal Antiquities Museum, including Mr. Nguyen The Hong, Director of the Nam Hong Royal Museum, who donated an artifact, a version of the "Hoang De Chi Bao" seal made of gilded bronze; the Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City Antiquities Association donated two lime pots - products of Phuoc Tich pottery village, dating from the 17th - 18th centuries.
