01

What is the MOQ?

+

There is no fixed minimum order quantity. Buyers can discuss the product mix and quantity that suit their market.

02

Can different models and finishes be mixed?

+

Yes. Different product styles, sizes, colours and finishes can be combined within the same confirmed order programme.

03

Can I order samples before bulk production?

+

Yes. Samples are recommended for shape, dimensions, clay colour, moss character and acceptable handmade variation. Sample arrangements depend on the selected product and process.

04

What is the production lead time?

+

The typical production lead time is 60–90 days after the product details and order are confirmed. Shipment time is separate.

05

Are the pots frost resistant?

+

Performance depends on the clay body, firing, drainage, saturation, climate and use. Tell us the destination and required standard before quotation; buyer-specific testing must be confirmed rather than assumed.

06

How much variation should buyers expect?

+

Handmade dimensions may vary by approximately 1–2 cm. Clay tone, firing marks and cultivated moss surfaces also vary naturally; approved samples and agreed tolerances provide the reference.

07

Do you provide matching saucers?

+

Matching saucers are available for selected product families. Confirm the pot code, base size and finish so the current match can be checked.

08

What private-label options are available?

+

Options can include logo embossing during forming, carton labels, barcodes, customer-branded packaging and retail packing, subject to the project.

09

How are the pots packed for export?

+

Packing is designed around the product shape, nesting, protection, carton strength, labels and shipment mode. Pallet and container plans are confirmed after the item mix is fixed.

10

Is there a fixed packing quantity?

+

No. Packing quantities are flexible and are organised around the selected products, protection requirements and shipment plan.

11

What information is needed for a quotation?

+

Provide item codes or reference images, finish, quantity, destination country and port, target timing, shipment preference, packing needs and any compliance requirements.
