About Sanzo
Craft is our first language.
In 2010, beside the kilns of Qixian, we lit our own fire. This is the homeland of glassware — a place with more artisans than machines, more patience than orders.
We do not believe in "close enough". A curve is overturned three times before it is right; a colour is fired a seventh time before it is true — old bones of craft, new flesh of design.
From sketch to shelf, design, R&D, production and export flow in one river. What arrives as an idea leaves as something you can hold.
- National high-tech enterprise · 59 patents · 21 trademarks
- Design, R&D, production and merchandising under one roof
- A duet of two cities: Taiyuan R&D base, Qixian factory
- Project collaborations with design teams such as PBC (France) and XL (Germany)
Craft & Manufacturing
Fire gives the shape. Hands give the measure.
Mouth-blowing is our mother tongue. Above it, ten finishing crafts work like ten dialects — letting the same glass speak in different voices.
Rest a fingertip on a craft, and see how it looks in the light.
Gilding · A brush dipped in gold draws the skeleton of the piece, line by line.
Rest a finger on any of them — each has one more sentence for you.

Collections
Every piece is used once in the mind before it is allowed to be made.
Eight doors, each opening onto a way of living. Whichever you push open leads straight into inquiry.
Wine & Stemware
Halfway through the dinner, someone raises a glass — that clear note is the sound of your brand.
Wine glasses, goblets, decanters — made for wineries, hotels and gifting
Follow that note inside
Tea & Water
Three in the afternoon, the water boils. A gaiwan that lifts and settles well can hold the whole afternoon — and at the bottom of the cup, a pool of gold leaf: light resting under water.
The lightness of gaiwan and tasting cups sets off the depth of the tea
Start with this cup of tea
Vases & Objects
Flowers bloom for seven days. What stands for them afterwards is the vessel you chose.
Flowers will fade; the posture of the vessel remains

Storage
Order in a kitchen begins with a jar that deserves to be seen.
The everyday of jars and bottles — a sense of order in the kitchen
Begin with a single jar
Everyday Drinkware
Something lifted thirty times a day deserves to be made carefully thirty times over.
Cut crystal and plain tumblers — the kind of good that gets picked up many times a day
Talk about the everyday glass
Beer Glasses & Tankards
In the three seconds when foam reaches the rim, a day finally lets go. The thickness of the wall decides the temperature of that sip.
Pilsners, weizen glasses and tankards — each one blown by hand at the furnace, made for malt and foam
Find the right glass for that malt
Glass Dinnerware
Before the dish arrives, the light is already there. A clear plate is the opening line of a table.
Dinner, fruit and dessert plates — let the table be seen before it is remembered
Set your table, starting with this plate
Gifting & Custom
What the receiver remembers is never the price — it is the light on the box the moment it opens.
A feeling made holdable, starting from the packaging
Bring the feeling in, tell it slowly
How a piece sits in the light arrives before words do.
The Custom Journey
Five steps. Someone walks each one solidly beside you.
Walk the five steps with a fingertip — the firelight will lead.

Questions we hear often
The answer first, then the story.
What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
For hand-blown pieces, typically 500–1,000 units, varying with shape and decoration; trial orders can be smaller. Tell us your scenario in the smart inquiry and we will propose an honest quantity ladder.
How long from design to delivery?
Sampling usually takes 2–4 weeks, mass production 30–60 days, and ocean freight another 20–40 days. Every project is broken into four stages — design, sampling, production, shipping — with an itemized timeline in the quotation.
Can you develop fully custom designs?
Yes. Our design team translates sketches or reference pieces into drawings and process language; production begins only after you approve a physical sample. We also co-create with design teams such as PBC (France) and XL (Germany).
Which market certifications can you support?
We arrange testing against your target market’s requirements — FDA, LFGB, EU food-contact regulations and others — with results certified by third-party laboratories.
Where is the factory? Can we visit?
The factory is in Qixian, Jinzhong, Shanxi — the heart of China’s glassware belt; the R&D base is at the Jinchuanggu Pilot Base in Taiyuan. You are welcome by appointment.
