About this place:

Pagburnayan is a barangay in Vigan. Burnay means earthen pot and Pagburnayan refers to the place where it is made. Having a barangay named after its main industry just shows that the people of this place have been practicing the craft for ages, perhaps since the first settlement of Vigan itself which goes beyond the coming of the Spaniards.
