The lotus leaf cost nearly half a million dong, hot sauce, sisters massively closed orders

Ms. Phan Dieu Chi selling goods online at Dai Kim (Hoang Mai, Hanoi) said that in the summer when the lotus blooms, the flower arrangement looks like lotus leaf fever again. Orders have skyrocketed. One day, she only advertised a piece of information on an online sales group specializing in flower arrangements and fresh flowers, she sold several dozen vases.

According to Ms. Chi, the lotus leaf vase has appeared since mid-2021. The vase is designed in the shape of a turquoise lotus leaf, with clear leaves on the outside. The mouth of the vase resembles the mouth of a mussel, so it is called a lotus leaf with a mussel.

The vase is 26cm high, the mouth opening is 30cm, suitable for arranging a variety of flowers, especially lotus flowers, so the sisters who have a hobby of arranging fresh flowers massively bought this lotus leaf vase.

“This product comes from Bat Trang pottery village. Depending on the quality of yeast, they have different prices. Like the model I’m selling is the jade green type, priced at 490,000 VND with a fixation piece inside the bottle.” Ms. Chi revealed that she often collects orders once a week to return customers to her factory. Last week, the number of orders placed up to about 160 bottles.

Ms. Dang Thanh Van – owner of a pottery shop in Nguyen Xien (Thanh Xuan, Hanoi) – also said that the market for vases/pots for flower arrangements is very diverse. However, depending on the model of the vase, it is suitable for a type of flower and design of the arrangement. Not to mention, people who are not good at arranging flowers have a hard time creating the look they want.

But especially with the lotus leaf vase model, it is easier. Sisters who love fresh flowers do not need to be too skillful to put up a beautiful flower vase. Because the lotus leaf mussel’s mouth has a moderate opening, the inside uses a shaped piece so that the flowers are placed at an equal distance.

The shape of this lotus leaf vase can also hold many types of flowers, from roses, lilies, gladiolus, chrysanthemums… to lotus flowers. In particular, the vase is turquoise, so it is suitable for all flower colors.

Ms. Van is selling a lotus leaf vase with a height of 21cm, a mouth opening of 35cm for 430,000 VND/jar, shaped pieces priced at 35,000 VND/piece and can be reused.

“The above price is retail, and the wholesale price depends on the number of customers taking each time. Goods arrive in batches of about 2,000 bottles per trip”, she shared. Accordingly, most of the time, Ms. Van returns one trip per month. On this occasion, right at the time when the lotus flower blooms, the number of customers ordering lotus vases has increased, so she plans to have to order more factories to keep up with orders.

Ms. Truong Cam Huong from Thai Thinh (Dong Da, Hanoi) boasted, since the day she bought the vase of lotus leaves, she has taken care of buying fresh flowers to arrange.

Until now, I really like to arrange fresh flowers, but thinking about buying flowers, I have to plug in a suitable vase or jar. Because, the money to buy a vase costs several times more than buying flowers, not to mention that the house is too small to buy many vases and there is no place to store it, she confided.

Recently, seeing on groups of fresh flower arrangement many sisters showing pictures of lotus flower vases with many kinds of flowers, she decided to order one. “This vase of lotus leaves I tried to arrange lilies, roses, water lilies. But my favorite is still the lotus flower,” she said.

On the market, most of the clues for sale of lotus leaf vases accept orders, very few places are available. The price of a vase of lotus leaves ranges from 310,000-500,000 VND/jar depending on the size and type of enamel. Shaped plugs in the vase cost 35,000-50,000 VND/piece, some sales leads are often included when customers buy a lotus leaf vase.
