The Ming Village in modern Singapore is the largest and
remaining pottery center of its kind in the region. Here,
the complete traditional process from mould making and handthrowing
to glazing, hand-painting and firing is all housed under
one roof.
Till today, Ming Village produces and sells its products
only at its factory in Pandan Road, thus guaranteeing only
the finest available at reasonable prices.
Singapore craftsmen and artists have been trained by highly
skilled experts from China and Taiwan, capable of undertaking
the meticulous task of creating 're-births' of original
pieces. Traditional methods of craftmanship are scrupulously
followed using similar materials but, working with better
facilites, creating and painting only by hand, no two pieces
can be identical, thus making replicas masterpieces in their
own right.
At Ming Village, commissioned pieces, custom-made items
and Corporate orders are also under-taken. Certificates
of authenticity/guarentee carrying a brief history and description
accompanies each reproduction piece. For overseas orders,
items are carefully packed and a mailing service is available
providing a convenient alternative to hand carrying your
purchases. Similar attention will also be given for packing
items to be hand carried. Professionally conducted tours
by our in-house guides will give you a better insight into
a world of artistic wonder. For those who wish for a closer
involvement with this fascinating art, Chinese pottery and
painting classes are held for groups of at least five persons,
each lasting from a few hours to a whole month. Specially
catered classes for Conventions or Incentive groups can
also be arranged.
When you visit Ming Village, you may find yourself leaving
with replicas of originals found in renowned museums of
London, Paris, U.S.A. and Taiwan.!
