There are many visitors searching for many things. Visitor no.1 from London searching for “xu beihong galloping horse glazed”.  Sorry to say that I cannot find glazed horse on paintings
Visitor no 2 from penang, pulau pinang searching for “how to spot fake peranakan ware”. It is very easy, it only require the skill and knowledge even Bandung copies can be spotted.
Visitor no.3 from kuala lumpur searching for “vintage shop penang” which is easy to find because many of the old shops are considered heritage building.
Visitor no.4 from kuala lumpur  searching for “cheap antique Malaysia”. You will have to wait for your chance in your lifetime because collectors want to buy the items of your interest at the price you are looking for.

Visitor no.8 from Espoo, southern Finland searching for “where is the oldest antique shop in Singapore” and another visitor no.9 from Singapore searching for “antique Chinese vase boutique in Singapore”. I am lack of information and as such I am unable to answer to these two visitors’ searches.
Visitor no.10 from Singapore searching for “Chinese antiques Singapore experts”.  Singapore has many Chinese antique experts before the starting of auction business in Chinese antiques in Hong Kong. South East Asian Ceramic Society was also started in Singapore and an American Lady who stayed in Singapore collected porcelain items and later donated to a museum in America. Bandung copies was also spotted by experts in Singapore. I am very sure that there good experts in Singapore who are students at that time to carry on with authentications.
