　　Yazu Pottery

　　Yazu Pottery features naturally shaped designs, often inspired by the clothing and utensils of local ethnic minorities, giving it strong ethnic characteristics and high practical value. It serves both as everyday ware and artistic craft. The pottery comes in hues such as white, emerald green, maroon, sky blue, bronze, and duck yellow, with enhanced craftsmanship in design. The current products of Yazu Pottery not only retain the merits of ancient Chinese ceramic shapes but also draw inspiration from the daily utensils of ethnic minorities. Items such as the Double Fish Jar, Peacock Screen, and others—including bottles, bowls, pen holders, table lamps, teapots, and plates rich in ethnic flavor and practicality—have been exhibited internationally multiple times, bringing honor to China. Yazu is located in Pingtang County, Qiannan Buyei and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, Guizhou Province. The local clay is yellow and sticky, and after glazing and firing, it achieves a harmonious, simple, and elegant color tone.
