Catalogue
Photographs are of pieces cast and finished in our own workshop, shot on the altar tables in our Nam Dinh showroom rather than rendered. Sizes, weights and packing data for anything below come back with the quotation — and the PDF below is the same catalogue, ungated.
Take it with you
Product lines, the finish chart, the specification and tolerance pages and the trade terms, in one file you can forward to a colleague or print for a buying meeting.
01 — Finishes
Finish, not size, is what moves the price on a bronze order. The same pattern in raw brass and in full gilding are two different products to your customer and two different costs to us.
Cast, fettled and polished with no colouring. The alloy shows its own yellow. Buyers who sell into bright interiors take this; it also ages naturally over years if the piece is handled.
Care & suitability: Indoor. Will darken with handling unless lacquered.
Chemically darkened, then cut back on the high points so the relief reads. This is the finish most export orders ship in: it hides fingerprints, photographs well and suits both altar and décor buyers.
Care & suitability: Indoor and sheltered outdoor. Re-waxing restores depth.
Gold leaf laid only on chosen relief — dragon bodies, lotus heads, the rim pattern — against a patinated ground. A middle price point between plain patina and full gilding.
Care & suitability: Indoor. Gilded areas are wiped, never scrubbed.
Leaf over the whole visible surface, burnished down. Heavy, bright and the usual choice for temple work and gift-grade pieces.
Care & suitability: Indoor. Handle with cotton gloves during display setup.
02 — Patterns
Anything below can be cast in any of the finishes above, in the trade sizes on the specification page. Your own pattern is a separate conversation — and the tooling for it stays on your account.
The standard export pattern: two dragons facing a flaming pearl around the body, lion finial, tortoise-and-crane pair.
Five characters of blessing cast into panels around the body. Reads as “Chinese classical” to most Western buyers.
Phoenix pattern with a lighter, more open relief. The pattern most often taken in raw brass.
Dense floral relief without figures — the pattern for buyers whose market prefers no dragons.
Bats and peaches, the old longevity motif, in a shallower relief that suits smaller sizes.
Lion and qilin patterns, usually taken with partial gilding on the manes and the finial.

Straight answer about the photographs
These are catalogue pieces, photographed in our showroom. We do not have studio pack-shots on white for every item yet, and we would rather show you the real thing than a rendering. Ask for photographs of your own order at the fettling and patina stages — those we take for every account.
Tell us sizes, finishes and quantities. We answer with unit prices EXW Nam Dinh and FOB Hai Phong, weights, carton sizes and a lead time you can put in front of your own customer.
