Yuet Tung China’s works became known for its Canton rose porcelain – a paint pigment called “xihong” or Western red. Since the 1970s, patterns have been carefully transferred and stamped onto plain white porcelain by hand instead of hand sketching each design. The porcelain is fired in the kiln, and the designs are hand-painted with a thin brush. The porcelain returns to the kiln for the colours to set with the finishing touches.
