Lighting up the pottery kiln in Phù Mỹ village

The fire is lit before the loading starts. Trương Thị Hoa lits the fire. That will be kept low, to heat up the structure and prepare for the pre-fire. At the same time, Nguyễn Tấn Ánh checks the places where he can see the flames through the layer of sherds to add some more and make sure that the bottom of the kiln is well covered with pottery sherds. The other workers have already start bringing the pots around the kiln.
