Why not take home a lasting symbol of your Hong Kong trip? Hong Kong shops stock a huge variety of porcelain products and bone china imported from various provinces in Mainland China. Available in co-ordinated sets or as single items, the colours and patterns of Chinese tableware represent blessings and celebrations in Chinese culture. A pair of bowls and two pairs of chopsticks, for example, are perfect gifts for newlyweds, offering the blessing of a bountiful life together.

You'll find Chinese tableware in Chinese department stores, specialty shops and street outlets throughout the city.

Reminders:

Good quality porcelain is shiny, even coloured, smooth and clear.
