Arrogant Collectors.

There are many arrogant collectors and experts who do not want to share with me certificates issued by famous experts or famous collectors.

There are some visitors with special searches 1) A visitor from Genova Liguria Italy searching for”old Japanese porcelain with bubbles”. 2) A visitor from Bukit Mertajam, Pulau Pinang searching for “china antique dealers”. 3) A visitor from Segamat, Johor searching for “Chinese antiques shop in Klang”. 4) A visitor from K.L. W.P. searching for “nyonya ware in Hong Kong”. 5) A visitor from Indonesia searching for “antique collector malaysia”. 6) A visitor from K.L. WP searching for “peranakan antique stores in medan”. 7) A visitor from Seremban, Negeri Sembilan searching for “I bought from mr. ng”

The visitor from Genova, Italy did not mention which type of Japanese porcelain that he is referring. I love what I have a) Imari ware, a Japanese lady in kimono the red, blue and gold glaze. B) Ko-Kutani ware has fine crackle with green, blue, yellow and a special brown. The colour glaze found in Imari ware is not found in Ko-Kutani and Chinese porcelain ware. The glaze colour is not found in Ko-Kutani ware is not found in Imari ware and Chinese Porcelain, the same goes to the colour of Chinese celadon, Korean celadon and Thai celadon. However I love the Japanese porcelain that I have which has given me knowledge by proper studies by touching and not by hear-say. An expert had stated that one must learn with “authenticated specimen”.

The second visitor has to look for a wide area because most of the good items may not reach you as they may be sold out before you discover the good items.

The third visitor should follow the second visitor has to look for a wide area to search for Chinese antiques shop in Klang and whether there are Chinese antiques shop in Klang or not, I don’t know because I am not from Klang.

The fourth visitor should know whether there are prawn foodstuffs found in Hong Kong and as such I do not know whether you have come across or just being told.

Answer to fifth visitor, many collectors does not want knowledge but depend on experts to tell them whether the items are old or not. I do not know any knowledgeable collector in antiques in Malaysia.

As to the sixth visitor I have not heard of peranakan antique stores in medan but I see peranakan wares in local antique shops in K.L. and P.J.

The seventh visitor has not identified himself or herself and I cannot say that he or she was a customer of Ng Ting Kau Antique Shop at Kuala Lumpur and whether he or she has bought the items from Mr. Ng Ting Kau or Mr. Ronnie Ng Poh Heong and what are the items. There are many collectors who claim for certificates and I am sure by now there are many certificates issued by experts and the only way that Ng Ting Kau Antique Shop sell antiques are without certificates but for experts to issue report to prove any judgement that is wrong. Ng Ting Kau Antique Shop is registered with the Registrar of Business and not a road side peddler where the seller turn his back and the buyer turn his back, the buyer could not find the seller. I had earlier stated that the call it what you like Nyonya ware, Straits Chinese, Peranakan ware or Pua Nguar item owned by Madame Lopez, whether the ownership is important or the fact to tell the item is genuine or fake is important? Collectors will want to gain importance to their items by claiming that I bought it from this well- known dealer or from this famous family. The late Mr. Ng Ting Kau will always give details to the buyer but many do not want to know and that is all I know.
