Object donated to the Vietnamese Heritage Museum by Bùi Đức Uyên
Based on stylistic features—celadon green glaze, cobalt blue hand-painted motifs, weight (~400g), and form—the bát chiết yêu and accompanying dish are attributed to Chu Đậu kilns (Hải Dương), a major ceramic center of the era.
The bowl and dish were preserved as family heirlooms within the household of Cụ Ông Bùi Thuần (1896–1948).
After the communist government’s land reform, the family house was requisitioned. Surviving heirlooms, including tbe chiết yêu bowl, were relocated to the từ đường họ Bùi (Bùi family ancestral hall), which later became the shrine to Bùi Viện, the 19th-century reformer and diplomat.
Ông Bùi Chiên, the eldest son of Cụ Ông Bùi Thuần, returned to Trình Phố to perform a ritual at the ancestral hall, during which he reclaimed two bát chiết yêu and four ceramic dishes that had long been preserved there. He brought these heirlooms to the United States, where they continued to serve in ancestor worship.
Donated to the Vietnamese Heritage Museum by Ông Bùi Chiên, the eldest son of Cụ Ông Bùi Thuần.
