Origin
Cast here, documented here
Every piece is poured and finished in our own workshop in Nam Dinh. The certificate of origin follows the actual production lot, and you are welcome to watch a pour.
Bronze foundry · wholesale & OEM · Nam Dinh, Vietnam
Solid cast bronze from Dong Quy, shipped by the pallet or the container.
We are a family-run Vietnamese foundry in Dong Quy, a bronze-casting village in Nam Dinh. We supply incense burners and altar sets, statues, plaques and decorative vessels to importers, altar and Buddhist-supply retailers, interior contractors and private-label brands — and we cast to your drawing as readily as to our own catalogue.

01 — What we cast
Six product lines, one alloy, one finishing shop
Every line below is cast, chased and patinated under the same roof, so a mixed container leaves with one colour of bronze rather than five.
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
- Buyers: diaspora altar shops, temple suppliers, Buddhist supply wholesalers

Line 02
Statues & figures
Cast figures and busts, from tabletop pieces to commissioned portrait work, finished in antique patina or polished bronze.
- Lost-wax for fine modelling, sand casting for volume
- Cast from your 3D file, a maquette, or photographs
- Plinths, fixings and name plates cast to match

Line 03
Plaques & lettering
Cast bronze plaques, memorial tablets, donor boards, relief panels and raised lettering for buildings and grounds.
- Raised or recessed text, cast rather than engraved
- Weatherable patinas and lacquer for outdoor sites
- Drilled, studded or concealed fixing
See the line →
Line 04
Decorative vessels
Vases, bowls, hanging panels and relief pictures for interiors, hotels and gift ranges — what buyers group as Asian bronze décor.
- Cloisonné enamel (phap lam) on selected forms
- Hammered, chased and hand-engraved surfaces
- Nesting sizes designed for efficient cartons

Line 05
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
- Repeat orders cast from the retained pattern
See the line →
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
- Useful for distributors carrying warranty claims

01b — The goods themselves
Pieces photographed in our own showrooms
Showroom photographs of stock we have cast, not renderings and not studio pack-shots. The same forms are cast in any of the finishes below — tell us the form and the colour separately.
01c — Inside the workshop
The people who will actually make your order
Photographs taken on our own shop floor in Dong Quy. Not a stock library, not a rendering, and not somebody else's factory.
02 — Why buy from the foundry
You are buying from the people at the furnace, not from a trading office
Importers in 2026 are keeping fewer suppliers and looking harder at each one. Three things change when you deal with the workshop directly.
Correction
A fault is re-cast, not argued about
When a casting is wrong we make it again, because the pattern, the furnace and the chasers are ours. A trading company has to go back and negotiate with someone else's factory.
Continuity
Your pattern is kept on the shelf
Repeat orders come off the pattern we made for your first one, so the fifth container matches the first. Private patterns are not cast for other buyers.
03 — How an order runs
Seven steps from your line list to a container
Line list
You send items, sizes, finishes and quantities — or a drawing. Photographs of a competitor's piece are fine as a starting point.
Quotation
We answer within two working days with unit prices EXW Nam Dinh and FOB Hai Phong, unit weights, carton or crate sizes and a lead time.
Sample
Catalogue sample from stock, or a cast-to-drawing sample. Sample cost is credited against the first production order.
Proforma & deposit
Terms confirmed in writing on the proforma invoice; production is scheduled on the T/T deposit.
Casting
21–30 days for custom work, plus finishing. We send photographs at the fettling and patina stages so colour is agreed before packing.
Inspection
Dimensions, weight and colour checked against the order. Filmed or third-party inspection on request if you cannot travel.
Packing & documents
Foam, carton, wooden crate for heavy pieces; invoice, packing list and certificate of origin issued to match the shipment.
04 — Before you quote your customer
The numbers we publish, so nobody argues after the container lands
05 — Packing, freight and landed cost
Bronze is dense, and that is what decides your freight bill
The mistake a first-time importer of cast bronze makes is planning the order by volume. A mixed order usually reaches the weight limit of a 20 ft container long before it fills the space, and it is much cheaper to discover that on a spreadsheet than at the port.
On every proforma
The numbers you need to cost a shipment
- Measured height of each piece, not the trade size
- Unit weight and packed weight
- Carton or crate dimensions and pieces per carton
- Total gross weight and total volume of the order
How it travels
Foam, carton, crate
- Each piece foam-wrapped, then cartoned
- Heavy censers and tall cranes in wooden crates
- ISPM-15 heat-treated timber where your market requires it — ask at order stage so the documents match
- Cartons marked to your shipping mark if you send one
At your end
Duty: ask your broker, not a website
- Decorative cast bronze usually falls under HS 8306 or 7419
- We publish no duty rate — rates on Vietnamese goods have moved more than once recently
- We supply invoice, packing list and certificate of origin against the production lot
- Tell us which certificate-of-origin form your customs wants
Before you commit to a container
Send us the assortment you have in mind and we will return the weights and carton sizes first, free and before any price discussion, so you can run your own freight and landed-cost numbers. Plenty of buyers start with a pallet of LCL rather than a full container — we would rather you did that and came back than over-ordered once.
