Making bricks was a common practice in this area from the beginning. With abundant soil resources, a huge amount of alluvium from the Cuu Long stream has accumulated over many years, forming valuable clay deposits. Since then, Vinh Long residents have masterfully kneaded and transformed them into one-of-a-kind bricks and ceramic goods since then.

Unglazed pottery is a distinctive feature of the ceramic tile profession in Vinh Long. Rice husk, a common product in wet rice fields, is used as a fuel. Furthermore, because of the alum contamination of this unique red clay, when burnt, Vinh Long red pottery frequently exhibits white alum veins.
