Batch 2024:What many people may not know is that in the past, most of the rising spinner effects came from Guangxi / from Link Triad. One example is classics such as "Sunflowers", "Plane flying at night", "Spring Butterflies" etc., where the classic article numbers such as W504A from China National Native, Guangxi Branch, are still printed on boxes of the current articles in the sizes mentioned in Hunan.
There is now only one factory left in the whole of Guangxi that is allowed to produce rising spinners - and I have tried to revive some classic articles here.
We start with the "Sonnenvogel Mittel", classic rising spinners in red and green. We have improved the effect with titanium sparks and got the maximum possible out of the tubes in terms of the powderweight / burning time.
The spinners are very well made, as in the past, with both ends taped with red wax paper/paper with a floral pattern, where today you normally only see the red clay in a careless way on items from Hunan/Jiangxi, and also all my attempts there to have it made like it used to be had always failed, with the argument that this would limit the factory's capacity too much. The boxes are still wrapped in cellophane, and the wings are neatly and securely attached. The complex manufacturing method as in the past has its price, but the result is, in my opinion, a very good and sturdy spinner for its size, and one that is unrivaled in quality on the market.
Only the titanium sparks could come out a little better in the colored phase, but for safety reasons the factory refused to even test the titanium that I wanted to provide to them for this purpose.
Batch 2025:New batch of our "Sonnenvögel Mittel". I have the feeling that the green ones burn for a little shorter time than in the previous batch, but the composition and formula are identical; somehow, the mixture just seems to burn a bit faster/hotter.
Otherwise, I think the product turned out quite well again.
Unfortunately, this will probably be the last batch for a long time, as the factory in Guangxi is no longer allowed to produce rising spinners, and has therefore been sold by the owner (the daughter of the former boss). I find this extremely sad, as her father founded the factory over 35 years ago and had already been producing fireworks for a long time before that, and it's the only factory I know that still operates in the old style, like in the 80s and 90s. A small factory where the workers still meticulously label and package each item entirely by hand – often steps that no one else has performed for at least 20-25 years. When you enter the factory, you feel like time has stood still. A completely different world, which appealed to me far more than the hundreds of factories in Hunan and Jiangxi, all churning out the same mass-produced, low-cost goods.
So now, unfortunately, there isn't a single factory left in all of Guangxi that's allowed to produce rising spinners anymore...
