The Minh Long Story: Passion and Inspiration

Minh Long I, known throughout Asia and Europe for its high quality porcelain was founded in 1970 by Mr. Ly Ngoc Minh, a man inspired by and devoted to creating exquisite porcelain.

Minh Long is an independent family owned and operated company. Each piece of Minh Long porcelain is unequaled in craftsmanship and artistry. Its beauty and elegance has long captured the hearts and graced the tables of Asians and Europeans alike and will now be offered to Americans.

Minh Long Fine Porcelain starts off with the finest raw materials imported from all the top quality mines around the world. The raw materials go through a rigid filtering system and through some of the most advanced processing techniques in the ceramic industry.

An investment of more than 30 million US Dollars in the latest high-tech machinery from Germany, Japan, and England enables Minh Long to fire the porcelain at 2516*F. This creates a chip, scratch, and shock resistant product. It also eliminates all impurities, and gives the product a pure whiteness, and a high degree of translucency.

Next, the porcelain is protective with an in-glaze that covers the sophisticated design. This provides a transparent, shiny, plus grease and oil resistant shine that helps save time and detergent which is more environmentally friendly.

The designs are created with a variety of style and color schemes, while at the same time emphasizing harmony and elegance to blend into any atmosphere.

The decorative pattern on the product often portrays the tradition and culture of the Vietnamese people, while also remaining in harmony with international artistry and carrying the distinctive characteristic of its creator. This makes the product sophisticated and vivid.

The shape of the product is designed with both Western and Eastern styles in mind and therefore can be confidently presented in any region or culture, age or gender.

Tung Pho has brought Minh Long to Americans as the only American distributor. He has opened a showroom in New York City and more recently, a warehouse and showroom in West Hartford, Connecticut open to all wholesalers, restaurants, and retail consumers.
