"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.
