Hi Everyone! I am Amy, one of the Moderators here at Secondhandsquad.net. Part of that role is to assist with any questions you may have, so fire away! I am from Columbus, Ohio and love thrifting and perusing our local antique stores! I enjoy pieces that remind me of my grandparents and love the hunt of finding unique treasures to bring into my home. While I love the reselling business, I find my joy in giving new life to old pieces and sharing that with others.
Hong Kong has a long history of ceramic production, often catering to export markets, particularly during the mid-to-late 20th century. Many factories produced decorative items, including vases and tableware, that were hand-painted and then exported to Western countries. These items were often commissioned by import companies or department stores, which would then brand them with their own labels. The "Wing On Co. Inc." was a well-known department store in San Francisco, established by immigrants from Hong Kong. They specialized in Asian goods, and it was common for them to import ceramics and other decorative items directly from Hong Kong, often having them custom-made or labeled for their stores. This practice allowed them to offer unique products to their American clientele.
