Great selection of Chinese arts and crafts, mainly specializes in stone and jade carvings, ranging from low to high prices. I got myself a beautiful Yi Xing purple clay teapot. The owner, Master Lam, is an expert shou shan rock carver, now retired, so his works will be the last ones available for this unique craft. If you’re a teapot collector, you’ll find his carved rock teapots very unique.

Amazing selection of gorgeous art pieces. Wide variety of prices if you are looking for something small and cheaper, or intricate and expensive. The woman who helped us knew everything possible and was very kind, she wanted to help us find something meaningful. I got a small hand carved cat that I love. Everything is very fragile so be careful in the store.
