Blue Ceramic Pots and Planters

Blue is a classic, elegant color of Vietnamese ceramic pottery. This rich hue is produced with a cobalt pigment that is blended into the glaze (cobalt is a chemical element and a lustrous metal). Artisans then coat the pot with the glaze. Next, high-temperature firing transforms the glaze into a serene blue, glassy surface.
