This two visitors from Singapore with one searching for
“peranakan porcelain genuine” another searching for “antiqueperanakanporcelien”
are trying to make a fool out of me.
The Origin of Peranakan in Straits Settlement dated
Wednesday 24 July 2013 states that the use of the word Peranakan appeared in
the 1960’s when the then Straits Chinese British Association and later
Peranakan Association Singapore on 23 February 1966. Peranakan porcelain ware among
the other wares which is found to be bandung copies because of the demand of
antique porcelain. Until now I do not know which is the best namely Pua nguar,
nyonya ware or Peranakan ware?
Many years ago my late father was famous for sending away
customers or visitors from Singapore concerning antiques and this was well
known in Singapore. The trouble starts with these trouble makers who browse
around and accuse him of selling fake antiques and his reply was to throw them
out by saying “Don’t come here and get yourself cheated” and just ignored them
making themselves to go off. None of them including other collectors refused to
hear his explanation. Arrogant
collectors have thought that they are the best collectors and need not hear
what others have to say. Now that collectors have turned experts are the best
people to find out how to decide with details that the specimen is a fake or
genuine.
The best way is to
look for an expert to advise you on genuineness and also where to buy so that
purchases will not be wrong.
