Temple Mall joins Hong Kong’s last-remaining painted porcelain factory, Yuet Tung China Works, in presenting “The Colours of Guangcai” campaign, where a third-generation Guangcai artisan will put a colourful spin on Hong Kong’s Wong Tai Sin community
"Porcelain & Tea" Exhibition Sets the Scene
Yum cha, the Cantonese tradition involving tea and dim sum, is the quintessence of Hong Kong culture and has long been a weekend ritual among locals. In addition to delectable bites and brews, porcelain teaware - whose design has been deeply influenced by a mix of traditional Chinese and foreign cultures - is a focal point of Cantonese teahouse culture. Third-generation Guangcai artisan Tso Chi-hung from Yuet Tung China Works is tapped to host the "Porcelain & Tea" exhibition, a showcase event of "The Colours of Guangcai". The exhibition offers a close-up on the evolution of Guangcai by displaying a selected array of hand-painted teaware from the 1940s to the present in European-style scenes in the mall's atrium, providing memorable backdrops that set the scene for Instagram-worthy photos and selfies.
Exclusive Celadon Tableware Sets to Gift or Add to Your Collection
Two celadon tableware sets co-launched with Yuet Tung China Works are available for Temple Mall shoppers who spend a designated amount. A florid swipe of poised, elegant and prosperous peonies in full bloom comes to life on the "Blooming Bliss Tableware Set", while rows of picturesque landscapes pervade the "Landscape Celadon Bowl Duo", punctuated with Wong Tai Sin's signature pavilions and gazebos that recall reassuring moments in the neighbourhood. Both sets make a true collectible or a generous gift! Shoppers spending a designated amount via electronic payment methods at Temple Mall can redeem their receipts for a celadon tableware set from Yuet Tung China Works, exclusive offers from Chow Sang Sang and a $20 voucher from fashion merchants.

Yuet Tung China Works is the last-standing - and was once the largest - hand-painted porcelain factory in Hong Kong, employing up to 300 Guangcai artisans in its prime days. On the list of patrons are famous names, including the likes of Chris Patten and Lady MacLehose, who have procured customised commemorative porcelain. Local five-star hotels are also returning customers, notably The Peninsula Hong Kong, where tableware hand-crafted by Yuet Tung is featured in its lobby and its Michelin-starred Spring Moon restaurant.
