Handmade Pottery

Drawing on a centuries-old art form and generations of family tradition, Phong Thanh's Pottery Depot Direct offers beautiful handmade pottery in graceful shapes and colors that evoke visions of Vietnam's rolling green hills, tranquil waters and brilliantly hued florals. Archaelogical evidence of Vietnamese pottery making dates back to the Stone Age, with artistic elements appearing during the Neolithic Age. Today, Pottery Depot Direct, family owned and operated since 1937, offers stunning handmade pottery crafted from terracotta, fiber stone, old stone, glazed cement, terrazzo and rustic zinc.

Our handmade pottery products include indoor and outdoor planters, vases, teapots, fountains and garden features in an array of shapes and styles, designs and finishes all in the Vietnamese and Chinese traditions passed down through generations of the Phong Thanh family. Skilled workers at Pottery Depot Direct's manufacturing site in the Binh Duong Province of Vietnam hand carve, smooth and glaze molded clay products, fire them inside one of our two dragon kilns or gas kilns, then closely inspect each and every piece of our handmade pottery to make sure you get a beautiful and durable work of art. Our products are waterproof and frost-resistant.

Although handmade pottery began as a sparsely stylized, functional necessity of everyday life, it developed into a decorative art form over the centuries and was a central part of trade between Vietnam and its neighbors throughout many ancient dynasties. Today, Pottery Depot Direct (founded in 1938 by the current company leaders' grandparents from China) creates exquisite handmade pottery products with elements of both Chinese and Vietnamese styles and designs.
