It is impossible to say Bat Trang without mentioning Madame Vinh. Madame Vinh was born in Bat Trang,
the youngest daughter of the 15th generation of a pottery producing family. As a schoolgirl she often
helped her parents with their business and after finishing high school she decided to make pottery her life.
She started her career working for a state owned company. Some years later, as the new wave of economic thinking, Doi Moi, began to change Vietnam, she established her own company in Bat Trang The Quang Vinh Ceramic Company. She started modestly, working long hours and doing her share of the hard labour, like mixing the heavy clay with her bare feet. Today her hard work and astute business vision has become her success. She now runs not one but two busy factories, one in her native Bat Trang and one in Quang Ninh in Ha Long Province.
