The wood and metal market in Bangladesh

In Chapainawabganj, kansa plates sell for ৳2,400–2,500 a kilo, glasses ৳2,600–2,800 and spoons about ৳2,300, up from ৳700–800 a kilo a decade earlier. Factories fell from at least 500 to about 30–35, and artisans from about 10,000 to about 500 (bdnews24, June 2024)
In Islampur, Jamalpur, bell metal sold for ৳3,500–5,500 a kilo at retail and about ৳2,000 wholesale, and craftsmen earned ৳350–1,000 a day. About 1,000 households worked in the trade 20 years earlier; 50 remained (The Business Standard, February 2020)
Dhamrai's bell-metal trade survives in "a handful of workshops" that sell to wholesale merchants in Mitford and directly to local buyers, and also make school bells and temple cymbals. Copper that once cost ৳160 a kilo now costs about ten times as much (The Daily Star, April 2026)
Dhamrai is the main centre of Bangladesh's cottage brassware, using lost-wax casting for small solid pieces and a hollow process for large, light ones. Other centres include Chittagong, Narayanganj, Nawabganj, Islampur, Rangpur, Tangail and Shariatpur (Wikipedia, secondary, October 2026)
Kansa utensils are given as gifts at weddings, khatna and annaprashan (bdnews24, June 2024). December and January are the peak wedding season in Bangladesh (The Financial Express, December 2021)
Gopalganj's bronze jewellery is one of Bangladesh's 64 registered GI products, but no kansa, brass or wood product is on the list (BSS, June 2026)
Among kansa and brass searches in Bangladesh, "kansa plate price in bangladesh" and "kansa price" rank highest in Google's suggestions, ahead of "kansa glass price in bangladesh", "kansa kg price in bangladesh" and "কাঁসা পিতলের দাম": buyers ask the price by the kilo. That is suggestion rank, not search volume (Google Autocomplete collected by JADUZ, secondary, October 2026)
Wooden trays, a solid mahogany serving tray and a floral hand-carved one, were listed at ৳790 each (Rokomari, secondary, October 2026)
Wood appears less often and more specifically in Google's suggestions, such as "wooden wall mirror price in bangladesh", "wooden photo frame price in bangladesh" and "কাঠের শোপিস". That is suggestion rank, not search volume (Google Autocomplete collected by JADUZ, secondary, October 2026)

How selling wood and metal works on JADUZ

Every maker follows the same path from order to money:

An order comes in
You accept and pack it
Pathao picks it up
The buyer pays cash
Your earning reaches your wallet
Withdraw to bKash, Nagad or bank

Listing, photos and packing

Name the metal as far as you know it (brass, bell metal or copper) and the method: sand-cast, hand-beaten, engraved or lost-wax (dhokra). Say whether it's polished, left dark or lacquered, and whether a vessel is tin-lined (kalai). Never write "pure brass" or "pure kansa" unless you know the alloy.
Weigh every metal piece on a kitchen scale and give the grams, or a range for a set. Buyers judge brass and kansa by weight and look up prices by the kilo, so put the weight right next to your price.
Give height × width × depth for figures and boxes, diameter and depth for plates and bowls, and capacity in millilitres, measured with water, for glasses and jugs. Inches first, centimetres in brackets.
For wood, name the species only if you're sure (mango, teak, mahogany, gamari, rain tree or neem); otherwise write "solid hardwood". Say whether there's veneer, plywood or MDF in it, and whether a bowl is for food or for display.
Add a care line: metal darkens with air and handling, so suggest a mild polish or a tamarind or lemon rub, then drying well. Lacquered pieces are only wiped and dhokra is never scrubbed. Wood is never soaked or left in long sun.
Photograph in soft daylight so polished metal shows its real tone: the whole piece straight on, a close-up of the carving or hammer marks, the underside, the piece in a hand for scale, and the piece in use. Use real photos of the real piece only.
Wrap each metal piece in cloth so pieces don't knock together, put the heaviest at the bottom, pad every side of the box, and photograph the sealed, labelled parcel before handover.
JADUZ accepts pieces you make yourself or in your own workshop. Resold factory ware, collected antiques and copied designs are refused, and a new piece is never called "antique" or "vintage"; "antique finish" is fine.

Good to know

Where can I sell kansa and brass items online in Bangladesh?

Bangladeshi artisans sell kansa and brass through their own Facebook or Instagram page, marketplaces such as Daraz, wholesale merchants in Dhaka's Mitford, and JADUZ, a curated marketplace for handmade work. On JADUZ, joining and listing are free, Pathao collects each sold piece from your door, and the buyer pays cash on delivery.

Should I price kansa by weight or by the piece?

Set a price for each piece and show its weight beside it. Buyers look up kansa prices by the kilo: in June 2024, Chapainawabganj plates sold for ৳2,400–2,500 a kilo (bdnews24). Add your hours for beating, engraving and polishing. On JADUZ you set your own price, and every order shows your earning before you accept it.

Can I sell handmade woodcraft on JADUZ?

Yes. Wood you carve, turn or paint yourself can be listed on JADUZ, from bowls and trays to boxes, wall panels and figures. Name the wood only if you're sure, otherwise write "solid hardwood". Say whether there's veneer, plywood or MDF in it, and whether a bowl is for food or for display.

Kansa is heavy. Who pays for delivery?

The buyer pays the delivery fee at checkout, with the order; JADUZ pays the courier from it and takes no commission on it. Your part is packing a heavy piece well: wrap each piece in cloth, put the heaviest at the bottom and pad every side of the box.

Can I write that kansa is good for health?

No. Health claims need proof a listing can't give, so leave them out for kansa and copper alike. Describe the alloy, its traditional use for eating and serving, the weight, the sound and how to care for it, and let buyers draw their own conclusions.

Can I sell old or antique brass pieces I've collected?

No. JADUZ is for pieces you make yourself or in your own workshop, not for reselling collected, antique or factory-made ware. A workshop with several artisans in Dhamrai, Islampur or Chapainawabganj can join, as long as the pieces are its own work.
