Yazhou has mild winters and summers, and the comfortable natural climate fosters delicate soil. The light gray clay is soft and smooth and can withstand the high temperatures of kiln firing — about 1,300 degrees — without deformation, making it a good raw material for pottery production.

Yazhou pottery mostly takes the form of household items. The patterns, presented in relief, are characterized by natural and simple modeling, soft lines and elegant and harmonious colors.
