Tran Do is a famous artist in the Vietnamese pottery industry. Through many years of working, he has persistently found unique features for his products, imbued with the quintessence of national culture.

According to Artist Tran Do, to successfully display the Vietnamese dragon product line, he discussed and learned about it at museums and relic preservation units, such as the National Museum of History and the Vietnam Fine Arts Museum, Thang Long Imperial Citadel Center, Hue Monuments Conservation Center to refer to documents and access sources of artifacts and antiques related to the image of the Vietnamese dragon through historical periods. It is an indispensable source of material for him to build his creative resources.
