Coloured Glaze and Metal Trim: When MOQ 30 Makes Sense

White-glaze models carry no minimum. A coloured body carries one, and the reason is in how the piece is made rather than in how it is sold.

Two price lists, one factory

Why colour changes the run

The practical consequence for a buyer is not that colour is expensive. It is that colour is a commitment: once the glaze is prepared and the pieces are fired, the tone of that batch is what you have.

What MOQ 30 buys you

Metal trim is a separate decision

What to settle before you price a coloured order

Where the minimum does not apply

Sequence the colour behind a proved model

Lead time, and where it goes

Send the model codes, the colour, the finish and the quantity for each model, and we will confirm the position for that combination — including the lead time that accounts for the approval step.
