Wing On Wo is one of the oldest stores in New York’s Chinatown, and one of the last that still specializes in Chinese porcelain. Some of its plates and bowls are so rare that they can’t even be found in China anymore. The store’s fifth-generation owner, Mei Lum, is determined to keep the shop going and make it relevant in the 21st century.
If you’re interested in Chinese culture and porcelain, we have more stories on our channel, including:
The factory in China that makes those famous blue bowls: • Those Famous Blue Chin...
The men who make 6-foot-tall pots: • Making Enormous Cerami...
The 88-year-old woman who built her own porcelain palace: • 88-Year-Old Woman Made...

I was reading a book called "50 Minerals that changed the course of History" and one mineral was kaolin the secret ingredient of porcelain. What an interesting study it has been !!!!! I must visit this shop.

HEY BISS. You know that dis biss would be over the max on the happy bar if I won the IPhone XS giveaway. Biss remember how on one vlog you told Kim K West to move her ugly cry over, I would over throne Stephanie Soo,like biss it would be the best thing that would happen in my life. I would recommend you when you go to China try different American fast food restaurants that are completely different there. Like Pizza Hut is literally the michelin star restaurant in China. At KFC you can get corn on the cob or corn with rice. In McCafé they sell mango macaroons or macarons and cheesecake. You know whenever I for some reason get yelled at bye my Waipo (in mandarin 外婆)you just make me happy knowing that you and Stephiance are having a good and thats how I get inspired to do better each day. Like literally know I have a reason to be awake everyday other than school and extracurricular. Anyway bye.

The problem with buying Chinese goods is that sellers love making fake 'antique' or 'handmade' goods. I bought an Yixing teapot online and it ended up being sloppily painted black on the outside and brown on the inside. I paid decent money for this also, it's quite annoying to deal with all the fraudulent goods out there.
