Ming Village & Pewter Museum

Reproduction Ming and Qing dynasty pottery is made in this workshop, where you can watch the craftspeople at work. The complete production process is done on the premises and guided tours are available. Ming Village is owned by Royal Selangor Pewter, whose products are sold at Orchard Rd’s Centrepoint and Takashimaya department stores. There’s also a small pewter museum here with some interesting pieces. The pewter is made in Malaysia, but the polishing and hand-beaten designs are demonstrated at the village. The showroom sells an extensive selection of pewter and porcelain. The company runs a free shuttle service from Orchard, Mandarin, Raffles and Pan Pacific Hotels from 9.20am; enquire with the hotel concierges.
