Bien Hoa - Dong Nai pottery is famous for two types of decorative pottery and black pottery. Decorative pottery includes fine art pottery with paintings, statues, reliefs; vases, pots, etc. Bien Hoa black pottery products are jars, vases, pots, statues that are naturally fired without glaze, without decorative drawings, but have their own unique features. Therefore, many domestic and foreign consumers buy them to decorate their gardens, resorts, restaurants, hotels, etc.

There were times when Bien Hoa - Dong Nai ceramics seemed to be fading away because many ceramic establishments could not survive and had to downsize and stop production. However, Bien Hoa province and city had timely policies, building Tan Hanh Ceramic Industrial Cluster (Bien Hoa city) to relocate ceramic establishments in Tan Van, Buu Hoa, Hoa An wards... to produce here. Thus, ceramic establishments will ensure the environment, can expand production, and meet large orders from domestic and foreign partners.

Currently, Bien Hoa - Dong Nai ceramics have been exported directly to more than 30 countries and territories around the world. This is one of the few products of craft villages in Dong Nai that can be exported directly without going through intermediaries. Although the production and consumption of Bien Hoa - Dong Nai ceramics still face many difficulties, establishments have been more proactive in researching the market and finding partners for export. Specifically, a number of ceramic establishments have established businesses, researching the needs of consumers in many countries to advise customers on suitable products to decorate living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, gardens, resorts, etc. Therefore, enterprises have received more orders. At the same time, ceramic establishments have also caught up with general market trends to design products that both have the characteristics of Bien Hoa - Dong Nai ceramics but still have a modern, sophisticated look that attracts ceramic enthusiasts at home and abroad.

However, to make Bien Hoa - Dong Nai ceramics famous globally, ceramic establishments need to connect and build national brands for strong and sustainable development.
