 The
two and a half millennia (2500 years) history of
Viet Nam is generally acknowledged to begin with the
Bronze-Age Dong Son culture, dated 500 BC to 100 AD.
However, its precursor societies are identifiable
much earlier- back another two thousand years. The
Phung Nguyen Culture was a Neolithic culture that
flourished from 2500 to 1500 BC.
We offer objects from that culture and virtually
every period since. For example:
• Phung Nguyen period-
- stone tools and blades
- jade and stone earrings
- small ceramics
• Dong Son
- bronze blades, tools, and jewelry
- bronze containers and grave replicas
- unglazed ceramics
• Han Viet period (Chinese domination- circa100-1000
AD )
- Small bronze containers and tools
- Bronze jewelry
- Small glazed and unglazed ceramic
• Dynastic period (1000AD to 1943 AD)
- Single-color glazed ceramics (green, white, brown,
etc)-1000-1500 AD
- Blue-and-white ceramics (1500 AD to present)
- Focused collections-
. lime containers: ceramics for household, bronze
for travel
. teapots
. “piggy-banks” (coin-filled ceramic vessels, buried
for centuries)
. “shipwreck ceramics”-small vessels from recently
discovered wrecks ites of Chinese trading vessels
taking Vietnam and Chinese ceramics to the world
(1550-1723 AD)
- Jewelry
. Ancient bronze, stone, and jade jewelry and small
objects, gold-mounted for contemporary wear
. CHIMERA CREATIONS-our designers combine antique
tribal silver with ancient beads (up to 2500 yrs
old) to create one-of-a-kind signature pieces.
