The Museum of Trade Ceramics is a heritage building in Hoi An, Vietnam, which showcases the rich ceramic trade history that flourished in this ancient town from the 8th to the 18th century. While the museum does not specifically focus on food, it is set in a town with a vast culinary history. Hoi An has been a melting pot of cultures for centuries, with influences from China, Japan, and France, and this is reflected in its food. The ceramic items on display at the museum also provide a lens into the past; showing us the kinds of utensils that would have been used in cooking and serving food in Hoianese homes and eateries of the time.
