These ceramic products not only have aesthetic value but also reflect the spiritual and religious life and cultural exchange of the multi-ethnic and multi-origin community in old Saigon. The presentations have affirmed that the research on ancient Saigon ceramics is not only a tribute to the past but also contributes to affirming the cultural identity of the city today.

From a collecting perspective, collector Truong Vinh Thang (Ho Hoang Tuan) shared many concerns.

The discussion is an opportunity for researchers, artisans and collectors to discuss the current situation and suggest new approaches to conservation. From a collecting perspective, collector Truong Vinh Thang (Ho Hoang Tuan) shared many concerns. "Saigon ceramic statues are not just antiques, they are stories, the soul of old Saigon. Many works are almost unique. We are racing against time to save them before they disappear completely, especially when today's young generation has few opportunities to access this heritage," said Mr. Tuan.

The seminar was not only an opportunity to look back at the unique historical and cultural values, but also a tribute to generations of artisans who have contributed to the cultural identity of the South. From the research results presented, the researchers hope that the Saigon ceramic heritage will continue to be preserved, spread and become vibrant in the contemporary cultural life of Ho Chi Minh City.
