Details

Since opening in 1928, the Yuet Tung China Works has been known for producing Guangzhou’s famous porcelain wares. The first ceramic painting studio to be built in Hong Kong, the Yuet Tung China Works is the only one that still remains here today – doubling as a shop and a warehouse for their products.

Yuet Tung China Works is managed by Joseph Tso, and has been in his family for three generations – ceramic hand painting for more than 90 years. From its heights of employing more than 300 people, the shop now only boasts four craftsmen, as automation has crippled the industry and made hand-painted wares less popular and profitable.

The porcelain wares are painted with many varieties of patterns and designs that are popular throughout the greater China area.

Admission: HK$100 for RASHK members; HK$150 for non-members
