A family kiln, three decades deep.
Van Phu Export Ceramic Co., Ltd. unites centuries-old tradition with modern manufacturing. We sit in Tân Phước Khánh, Tân Uyên — the historic heart of Vietnamese pottery since the mid-17th century — bringing generational craftsmanship to the global B2B stage.
Pottery has been made here since a Chinese merchant passing through Tân Uyên discovered the area's prized white clay. He settled and drew others to raise kilns along the Hố Đại stream; by the early 1930s more than ten handcraft kilns were turning out bowls, teaware, flower pots, lamp stands, vases and jars, and figures of people, animals and elephant-form stools.
Established as a traditional family ceramic workshop, perfecting stoneware bodies and glazing techniques.
Formally incorporated to scale production and expand into international markets.
A trusted manufacturing partner for premium glazed ware, planters and custom-designed vases — shipped directly to Europe and worldwide.
From clay to finished ware.
To guarantee structural integrity and strict compliance, every stage runs entirely within our own factory walls — 100% in-house, from raw clay to export packing.
Clay & moulds
Local clay and glaze are prepared; plaster moulds are fabricated and inspected before any piece is formed.
Forming
Each piece is shaped by hand — wheel throwing and slip casting — to the approved sample.
Bisque firing
A first firing at ~900°C sets the form and readies the surface for glaze.
Glazing
Glaze is applied by hand, batch by batch, to meet the colour agreed for each order.
Final firing
A second firing at ~1,200°C brings out the colour, depth and strength of the glaze.
Inspect & dispatch
Every piece is checked against the approved sample, then packed to specification before it leaves.
The transformation
Two firings turn soft, shaped clay into glazed ceramic that holds its colour for generations.
Where the craft becomes art.
Our drying yards — rows of raw, unfired forms — have drawn photographers and stylists. This editorial for Heritage Fashion (Vietnam Airlines, 2017) was shot among them, the clay turned backdrop and muse.
