Tracing our resort name and heritage
The origin of how Blue Pot got its unique title can be traced back to ancient history before the Spanish colonization. It can be gleaned from historial records that in the 15th - 16th centuries our forefathers had already made commerce with foreign traders: Chinese, Vietnamese, Indians and even Arabs.
In the 1970's, the piece of land where Blue Pot is located has made headlines when a vast assortment of ancient porcelain and ceramic wares were found buried in the area. Hundred of jars, pots, plates, vases, bracelets, and other artefacts made of ceramic were unearthed. Most of the jars, pots and celadon porcelain were of Chinese and Vietnamese origin evident of their blue glaze which can be traced back to a certain era when the "underglaze" blue technique was being applied by artisans in China.
Inlaid with blue ancient Chinese designs and art, these ceramic pots are priceless and have portrayed a significant evidence that the land where Blue Pot is located was indeed a thriving, bountiful, civilized village centuries before the arrival of the Spanish "Conquestadores".
