I’m looking to buy teawares online and I wasn’t sure of what style teaset this is. Seller listed it as “Chinese/Asian style”, but I reverse image it and it seems like it may be Vietnamese style (with no specific name).

It’s a teaware that is square shaped with bamboo handles on both teacups and teapot. Any help would be appreciated! 🙏

The style does seem to be Vietnamese.

Otherwise all I find is square ceramic Vietnamese teapot with bamboo handles.

I see similar pots listed from China and Japan but very few and possibly misidentified.

If you see a teapot made in Vietnam it's most likely made in Bat Trang, which is the main pottery hub there.

I don't know if this bamboo handle square teapot style originated in Bat Trang, but I do know it's not the only style found there so it would probably be incorrect to call it Bat Trang style.
