This black, bronze pot from the 18th century has been in Nguyen Tuyet's family for hundreds of years and has traveled with them through multiple forced displacements: from their home village of Dương A to Nam Định during the First Indochina War, to Saigon after the Geneva Accords was signed and Vietnam was divided at the 17th parallel, and then to the U.S. with the end of the Vietnam War.
