Hong Kong Museum of Tea Ware
Located in a grand old house in Hong Kong Park, the Museum of
Tea Ware is an interesting place to visit for those interested in
the finer points of one of China's most refined traditions. The
Greek revival architecture and decor is typical of the colonial
British buildings of over 160 years ago, and houses more than 600
examples of traditional tea ware, ranging from earthenware to
delicate porcelain and dating back to the 7th century. Also
described are the methods of tea-making and elaborate tea
ceremonies that revolve around the beautiful pieces. The museum
shop has a good selection of tea ware to take home with you. The
whole museum is rather small, and can be seen in under an hour.
