“Ban Lu pottery is a Symbol of the Flow of Life like a River, Always Flowing and Changing.”

Ban Lu pottery is an ancient pottery line of Lao people in Muong Et district, Hua Phan province, Lao People's Democratic Republic.

Ban Lu Pottery is made from clay with high adhesion, which is taken by potters from fields near their houses or fields near rivers and streams due to the long-term accumulation of Alluvium.

Ban Lu Pottery is characterised by its Water Wave Textures, engravings, and wavy and folded shapes. The Potters used various tools to create these patterns, including wooden stamps, bamboo sticks, and even their fingernails. The Pottery is often decorated with symbols that have special meaning to the Lao People, such as the Water Wave Pattern, which represents the Flow of Life.
