What we cast

Six product lines, one alloy, one finishing shop

Every line is cast, chased and patinated under the same roof, so a mixed container leaves with one colour of bronze rather than five.

Altar set cast in red bronze, polished and lacquered

Line 01

Altar bronzeware

The Vietnamese ngu su five-piece set: censer, a pair of cranes on tortoises, a pair of candlesticks — plus incense bowls, water cups and offering trays.

  • Censers 40–70 cm; sets matched by scale, not only by name
  • Cranes stand 5–7 cm taller than the censer, candlesticks 12–15 cm shorter

Custom & OEM casting

Your design, our furnace. Tooling stays with your account and a private pattern is never cast for another buyer.

  • Drawing or sample in, cast sample out before production
  • Your mark cast into the base, your carton and insert

Line 06

Restoration & matching

A broken crane, a missing candlestick, a set bought years ago from another maker: we cast the replacement and match the patina.

  • Send dimensions and photographs taken in daylight
  • Colour matched against a sample posted to us

Poured in our own yard

You are buying from the people at the furnace, not from a trading office

Cast here, documented hereThe certificate of origin follows the actual production lot, and you are welcome to watch a pour.
A fault is re-castThe pattern, the furnace and the chasers are ours, so a wrong casting is made again rather than argued about.
Your pattern stays on the shelfRepeat orders come off the pattern made for your first one, so the fifth container matches the first.

How an order runs

Seven steps from your line list to a container

  1. Line list

    Items, sizes, finishes and quantities — or a drawing. Photographs of a competitor's piece are fine as a starting point.

  2. Quotation

    Within two working days: unit prices EXW Nam Dinh and FOB Hai Phong, unit weights, carton or crate sizes and a lead time.

  3. Sample

    Catalogue sample from stock, or a cast-to-drawing sample. Sample cost is credited against the first production order.

  4. Proforma & deposit

    Terms confirmed in writing on the proforma invoice; production is scheduled on the T/T deposit.

  5. Casting

    21–30 days for custom work, plus finishing. Photographs at the fettling and patina stages so colour is agreed before packing.

  6. Inspection

    Dimensions, weight and colour checked against the order. Filmed or third-party inspection if you cannot travel.

  7. Packing & documents

    Foam, carton, wooden crate for heavy pieces; invoice, packing list and certificate of origin to match the shipment.

  8. Start with step one

    A line list in any form is enough. We reply within two working days, Monday to Saturday, Vietnam time.

Before you quote your customer

The numbers we publish, so nobody argues after the container lands

Dimensional tolerance
±1–3 cm across a setMore than 5 cm on a single piece is a fault, not a tolerance. Proportion between pieces matters more than any absolute figure.
Wall thickness
5 mm, 8 mm at load pointsSolid casting, not spun or pressed sheet — which is why the pieces feel heavy for their size.
Trade sizes
A “60” censer measures about 57 cmTrade names describe the pattern. We quote the measured figure on the proforma so your catalogue is right.
Freight
Weight fills a container before volumeBronze is dense. Ask for weights and carton sizes first — free, before any price — and run your own landed-cost numbers.

Quick answers

What buyers ask in the first message

Anything else: send it on WhatsApp +84 926 199 999, or read the full FAQ.

Is there a minimum order?

No fixed minimum. A first order can be a single sample piece, and a trial order can mix lines so you can test what sells before you commit to a container.

Do you publish prices?

No. Bronze is priced by weight, size and finish, and the alloy moves with the metal market. Send a line list and we quote unit prices EXW Nam Dinh and FOB Hai Phong within two working days.

How long does production take?

21–30 days for custom casting from an approved drawing, plus finishing and packing. Catalogue samples can often come from stock.

Can you cast our own design and brand?

Yes. Send a drawing, a 3D file, a sample or photographs. We cast a sample first; your mark can be cast into the base and your carton and insert used. Private patterns are never cast for another buyer.

Do you have ISO or BSCI certification?

No, and we say so plainly. Instead you can check our company registration (tax code 0601289556), walk the casting floor on a video call, visit, or send your own inspector before the balance is paid.

How is the order paid and shipped?

T/T deposit to schedule production, balance before shipment after inspection. We ship from Hai Phong by sea, or by air from Ha Noi, with invoice, packing list and certificate of origin.
