Time for Tea
Teapots abound in Hong Kong in all shapes and sizes, from the familiar squat version found in all cafes and restaurants, through to the ornate often highly decorated ones sold in dedicated fine tea shops. These blue and white teapots of different shapes and sizes with their accompanying teacups are a common sight in Hong Kong.
This is a variable edition of just five prints. A variable edition refers to a set a prints all printed from the same matrix but inked slightly differently, giving a 'variable' result. The main variation in these prints is the background inking.

Three Birdcages
Birdcages are a common sight particularly in the New Territories of Hong Kong. The cages themselves are often a work of art made from carved wood with tiny porcelain drinking bowls and ornate decorations, they come in all shapes and sizes.
These three birdcages are lino cuts hand printed with real gold leaf applied to the print by hand onto the wet ink surface immediately after printing.
