There is a visitor from United Kingdom searching for
“recommend furniture antique repair kuala lumpur”. My late father used to
repair and sell antique furniture in Kuala Lumpur. There was a workshop at
Campbell Road, Kuala Lumpur, I do not know where it is shifted. The high
operation cost has put a stop to antique furniture repair in Kuala Lumpur.
Another three visitors from Singapore with one searching for
“peranakan porcelain wares in Singapore” and the other searching for “antique
nyonya ware” and the third visitor searching for “ANTIQUE NYONYA WARE SALE”
which is difficult for me to tell because I see the items in front of me and as
I turn my back it sold, I don’t know what to say. Maybe to say the right thing
is that you may buy the right nyonya piece at the right place and at the right
time. The place to order nyonya porcelain ware is Jing dezhen or Bandung and
this was earlier mentioned in this blog. I saw two beautiful nyonya ware
kamcheng at a shopping complex at my recent Saturday outing.
Next two visitors from Petaling jaya searching for “ng ting
kau” which I had stated he died and his death is found in this blog because one
visitor has search for him and not to let the visitor chasing after rainbow, I
answered to this visitors ‘ search. I took over his business and started a shop
at a shopping complex but collectors fail to see the true antiques and the risk
in collecting antique porcelain ware to all collectors are told to beware of
‘Bandung copies or Jingdezhen copies”. I am now a freelance dealer and very
busy with my lunch is my hour for rest at Sing Kee coffee shop owned by my niece
opposite Pearl Point International Hotel at Old Klang Road, Kuala Lumpur.
Visitors can call to this place because I met one knowledgeable man in Chinese
history and we shared knowledge over lunch. There are not many good collectors
in Chinese antiques I heard of which can provide knowledge to others, maybe Mr.
William Willetts, Mr. Peter Clague(Malaysia), Mr. Lu Yaw and the learned
magistrate, Mr. Che Mokhtar Bin Ali. Their help will not make collectors
failure.
Three visitors from Easton Pennsylvannia searching for “che
mokhtar binche ali Chinese ceramics malaysia e-mail”, the second searching for
“lu yaw Chinese ceramics Singapore e-mail. You can advertise in the newspaper
at the respective countries for their contacts. The e-mail addresses are of no
importance to me because many distant themselves from me. My importance is to
check and learn to tell whether the items are genuine or copies or fakes with a
good conclusion.
