Rế

Rế is a handcrafted ceramic and home decor shop on Nguyễn Văn Nguyễn in District 1, Ho Chi Minh City. The boutique occupies a ground-floor space inside a residential alley opposite Đặng Tất Street. The name Rế references the traditional Vietnamese woven trivet used for clay cooking pots. The studio focuses on artisanal kitchenware, handcrafted ceramics, and natural fiber housewares.

Wooden shelves line the interior walls and display diverse collections of tableware. The inventory includes stoneware mugs, textured dinner plates, ceramic rice bowls, and teapots. Shoppers also find miniature sauce dishes and ceramic chopstick rests shaped like animals. Many pieces feature earthy matte glazes, speckled finishes, and subtle hand-painted motifs. The studio curates both Vietnamese pottery and select vintage Japanese ceramic items.

The store sells traditional Vietnamese woven baskets and utilitarian storage containers. Craftspeople weave these pieces by hand from natural rattan, bamboo, and dried seagrass. Display tables present woven fruit trays, pot coasters, and conical food covers. These craft goods serve practical roles in dining, food preparation, and interior decoration.

The interior features neat table arrangements, wooden fixtures, and soft lighting. Its alley setting provides a quiet browsing environment away from street traffic. The shop sits within walking distance of the Nhiêu Lộc Canal and Tân Định Market. Staff pack fragile ceramic purchases with protective wrap for safe transport. Rế operates daily from mid-morning until evening in the Tân Định ward.
