The trophy replica is made to the exact measures of the real one. Each replica weighs 0.7-1.2 kilograms. The price ranges from VND70,000 to VND100,000 each (US$2.82-4.02).

According to craftsman Vuong Hong Nhat, his family has been making pottery for 17 generations. Nhat and his family started making the first World Cup replicas in 2010, but the product quality was not good back then.

By 2014, Nhat figured out the formula to make solid and firm products. His family now produces more than 5,000 replicas. In Bat Trang craft village, only 5-6 families make ceramic World Cup trophies.
