About Ban Mai
A Vietnamese trading company that has brought the handmade pottery of Vietnam’s workshops to importers, wholesalers and retail chains around the world since 1999.
A Vietnamese company, built around handmade pottery
Ban Mai Co., Ltd (Công Ty TNHH Ban Mai), trading as BM Pottery, is a Vietnamese trading and export company for handmade pottery and garden décor, with our own showroom and warehouse in Tan Khanh, Ho Chi Minh City. Tan Khanh lies in the former Binh Duong province (now part of Ho Chi Minh City), a region known for its pottery for generations.
Much of Vietnam’s finest pottery is made in small and medium-sized workshops that cannot export on their own. Ban Mai is their link to the world: we work with multiple factories all over Vietnam, develop the designs and moulds, check the quality, pack every order and ship it, so buyers abroad deal with one partner they can trust.
For more than 27 years we have done this with the same aim: the best quality, a fair price and honest, personal service.
Red terracotta from Vinh Long
Red terracotta is what Vietnamese pottery is best known for around the world, and it is what Ban Mai is known for too. Much of it comes from Vinh Long in the Mekong Delta, where the river clay has been fired into bricks and pottery in traditional Dragon Kilns for generations.
We work with long-time partner factories in Vinh Long that produce our red terracotta, from classic garden pots to large planters. Together with them we keep this craft going, and make sure every piece meets our quality and packing standards before it leaves our warehouse.
Keeping Vietnamese handmade pottery alive
Vietnam has a long tradition of pottery, passed down from one generation of artisans to the next. Factory-made products are replacing much of this craft around the world. We want to keep it alive: by bringing orders to the workshops, the skills, the jobs and the character of Vietnamese handmade pottery stay in demand.
Made by hand
Every piece is shaped, finished, glazed and painted by hand. Small differences in colour and texture are the signature of handwork, not a defect.
Handmade moulds
All our moulds are made by hand at our own warehouse, so we can keep traditional shapes and develop new ones based on your theme or picture.
Traditional materials
Red terracotta from Vinh Long, black and glazed terracotta, earthenware and ceramic, alongside cement light, terrazzo, fibre clay, zinc, bamboo and seagrass.
Work for local artisans
Your orders give Vietnamese workshops the work they need to keep their craft going, under fair conditions (BSCI audited, 2026).
One partner, from the workshop to your container
- We work with multiple factories all over Vietnam that cannot export themselves, and bring their products to buyers abroad.
- We develop new designs from a theme or a picture you send us, and make the moulds by hand at our warehouse.
- We help build your range and confirm packing and container loading. Mixed containers and mixed pallets are welcome.
- Every order is inspected and packed in our warehouse, and we load the containers ourselves.
- We are fully transparent about how and where your products are made, and we take responsibility if anything goes wrong.
