Mobile Specimen Collection Station

I went to queue for my #covid19 test on Friday. I arrived slightly before 11am, got my queuing ticket, and found a good spot for this sketch. They called my number before I finished, so I went back to finish it after taking the test. It was cold and cloudy the whole week, and so the warm sunshine really caught me in surprise … and sun burnt on hands :~

Test result was received the following day. Negative.

Holy Cross Church

Two weeks ago at Holy Cross Church.

A quiet and peaceful place in the neighbourhood.

Farewell to GPO No. 10

Throwback to last weekend, when the queue to compulsory testing was to the right of this sketch.

立春 . 督花

#立春

#廣彩 不能不提 #督花 ，所以我的第一課廣彩也是從督花開始。

 

港督麥理浩夫人鄧麗娉（Margaret Noël Dunlop）當年帶著一隻破爛的古董青花瓷器到一家本地瓷廠，希望廠家可以彷繪上面的花紋到一套餐具。瓷廠其後把花紋複製在其他瓷器發售，既然是來自督太的花紋，很自然便取名「督花」。

 

督花其實是一種土耳其花紋，最初只有藍色，後來本地高級酒店大手訂購紅色版本，加上日本客人喜愛紅色的督花，使紅色花紋隨之廣泛流行。

 

麥理浩 legacy 留下現代香港的雛型，其夫人鄧麗娉也在香港傳統藝術留下一筆。

花開富貴

Background colour of the porcelain is real good!  Extremely thin, of course.
