Anabela Chan for Yuet Tung Porcelains
Founded in 1928, Yuet Tung is the last company in Hong Kong to produce hand-painted porcelain – a vanishing trade where the average age of the craftsmen is 72.
A third generation family business, YT supplies Hong Kong’s major hotels with bespoke ranges, and British nobility and Vatican bishops with dinner services emblazoned with coats of arms and family crests. The factory, in Kowloon Bay, is a trove of ceramic treasures, with vases, ginger jars, dishes, cups and plant pots piled from floor to ceiling.
