The style generally reflects strong Chinese influences; however by the 11th century, the technology, shapes, and designs of ceramics evolved into more distinct Vietnamese styles. The style can be divided into pre-export wares, featuring brown-and-white incised urns, basins, and squat jars with floral, leaf, lotus and chrysanthemum blossom motifs; early export wares, featuring an identifiable whitish or grayish body, hard and fine texture, and a dark chocolate-colored or lighter brown-colored base; and blue-and-white wares, featuring a special underglaze used in the 14th century, designs of flowers, lotus scrolls, and swimming fish, and an overglaze enamel in red, green, and yellow. Blue-and-white wares continued to evolve until the 18th and 19th centuries. Annam annam 2026-03-30 20:38:58
