Through several moving, now it is in an industrial building in Kawloon Bay. 

Tang who works there said, the amount of customers and viewers are not stable, some young people would come for taking photos instead of buying. 
 
In brilliant time, it had over 300 workers for hand-painting work, while now there are only several elder people doing this work.
 
There are Chinese traditional factors and western factors on the porcelain. Comparing with the industrial making porcelain, the making of Hand-painting porcelain is much complicated and inconvenient so the price is higher. 

Some viewer said, the high price, not always delicate products, and the lack of inheritors may be the reasons of the hand-painting porcelain heading for the sunset.
