It's been many years since I was there last, but I know this workshop well. I have many of their hand painted products. I treasure each and every piece.
We cannot lose art as beautiful and graceful as this. Technology could never replace the hands of the human, it would be long till we could get steady hands from technology to do this type of hardship we humans do. Being lazy for something easier is a path humanity is taking.
Guang Cai, or Canton porcelain, originated in Guangzhou (Canton) in the early 19th century. Tired of the turmoil at the time in 1946, the majority of artisans went to Hong Kong and invigorated the Guang Cai scene there. Like the master said at 2:25, Some 30 of them went back to Guangzhou in the mid 1950s. The state owned Guangzhou Guang Cai master factory established by these artisans had flourished and then went into decline as China opened up and competition from mass-produced wares heated, but the 2nd and 3rd generation workshops continued there to this day - just not as well known as their Hong Kong counterparts which usually serve western clients. So no worries and, yeah, it's up to the Chinese again.
@@theolich4384 ignore the paper panda, your knowledge on these matters are truly refreshing. It is the Chinese responsibility to preserve their culture, if they truly love their culture, they will preserve it. Don't worry about it being in decline, if it is truly eternal, it will have no choice but to ascend to prominence once again.
Those potteries are simply not attractive to younger customers anymore, since there are plenty of cheaper modern looking ones on market. Hand painted potteries are mostly use as art display nowadays.
Since they're (in some way) art pieces, people have been trying to apply the same economy of collector market to them. Some worked (like Jingdezhen porcelain, China's most prominent) and collectible pieces fetches very high prices, but Guang Cai in particular still has a long way to go. Anyway like the master said in the video, it's been back in Guangzhou and the fate of the branch now falls on the back of younger generation of Chinese artisans.
I am a teenager very interested in history and culture and while it is true that most people my age are not interested what so ever in this type of stuff, there is quite a subculture of people my age and somewhat older who love the idea of such crafts and arts and the atmosfere they bring to the world, a sens of a lost civilization, something forgoten by time and I really hope that those of us who value this will be able to preserve and perhaps revive one day these fascinateing aspects of past culture.
I have a tea set like the one he was painting with the gold trim and dragon. When up lift the tea cup up you see a pattern of a Korean women on the bottom. It’s about 70 years old. My dad sent it to my mother when he was overseas. I cherish the set and it has never been used. Beautiful ❤️I will hand it down to my first granddaughter.
Hong Kong has felt tremors from surrounding earthquakes but it is located far enough from a fault line that the chances of a major one happening are non-existent.
Nice artwork here, but HK has a problem where they don't value local crafts and artists devalue their products to make a living. Most HKers would only pay more for Japanese/western goods.
The fact that the porcelain is hand painted
should earn him high status
& his products much in demand!
I would totally buy it, they are all so unique.

How much are they ? Planning on contacting my relatives near them to ship it to me

Hand-made things are always beautiful and better than machine-made. Change my mind
Machine made is more consistent in quality, while human made is one of a kind masterpiece.
Agreed
What would happen if this shop stopped production? Many old works and designs are slowly forgotten by the people.
@Baby Panda pretty much historians and normal people unlike you.

Perhaps....Perhaps not....Many have made claim that never come to fruition...This may be on to those claims...
I hope it continues again
Thanks for posting this, I will take a look at the store.

Meanwhile me: can’t even draw a stickman properly(circle is like an oval, arms aren’t attached, legs are not symmetrical)
the difference is that he’s being doing this for decades, you still have time to improve dw!
@@londy4002
I’ve been drawing stickmen since I was 2.... lel
Beautiful!
Very nice and very fine, beautifully painted, keep this tradition, pass it down for another thousand years.
Art, craftsmanship, culture.
Wow just amazing art. ♥ Love it!
Oh wow that is so cool
I actually really like the artwork and would love to be able to go there one day!🥰❤
I would like to drink coffee from one of these amazing painted cups!
Hi Sir, do you still have the red painted plates ?
it still sells. it is beautiful.
beautiful finishing
Love this vid.
Sick.
sick!
You know something is old when they started when a emperor ruled china
Painted over without firing? Won't that fade with use?
Look after them?
It's most likely fired another time at the appropriate temperature for the overglaze
It is fired another time after the overglaze! The factory has a big oven for that.
I want to learn it don't close yet I wanna buy where in Hong Kong what's the name of the store please
Beautiful
What worries me is that an earthquake could happen at any moment and wreck a lot of this beautiful work.
Why worry ? HK buildings sway from side to side in typhoon season. Earthquake should be fine if they were ever to get a big one
Hong Kong has felt tremors from surrounding earthquakes but it is located far enough from a fault line that the chances of a major one happening are non-existent.
Beautiful...😁😁

All western values
Doesn't it go inside stomoch with food ? Is that paint ok to eat

If I’m in that store ,i will probably be knocking every single procelain , and when i was told to pay , i went to tophe river and jump
It is sad that some skills or even languages die because of modernization. Progress is really inevitable.
Wow
Would love to buy these porcelain but safly in my country, its extincti think.
One wrong move, and its game over.

為什麼這麼多中國傳統行業漸漸消失或熄微？因為這些傳統行業往往使用太多人手方法生產或製作，而生產或製作方式又太過依賴師傅個人手工藝或技巧，當師傅年老後沒有年青人承傳這個傳統行業手工藝或技巧，便會造成傳統行業手工藝失傳或消失，等於這個傳統行業消失及熄微，或者生存空間越來越窄小
