A sneak peek into this 90+ year old porcelain factory (Hong Kong)

 

It was great hearing the story and history of this porcelain factory from its third generation owner, Yuet Tung.

Some interesting points:

1. This factory was founded in 1928.
2. Before the 1960s, real gold dust was used. Later, they switched to liquid gold.
3. Guang Cai porcelain was mainly sold to the Western market.
