These antiquities are characterized by the distinctive designs and colors of the glaze of the Le dynasty.

According to the initial assessment, the above group of ancient artifacts belongs to the Le dynasty (XVI - XVII century) . Perhaps this is an ancient grave type that was preserved by ancient people in each of the ancient pottery pots mentioned above.

It is known that the place of discovery of antiquities is located in the archaeological site of Loi Mot, Thach Vinh commune, the residence of the ancient Vietnamese people in the old land of Ha Tinh.
