Kuala Peranakan Porcelain Shop

A visitor from Singapore searching for “kuala peranakan porcelain shop” which is easy to find. First look for the place then the shop. Road directory instrument like GPS will be helpful. Keep on searching and do not give up.
 I found events in collecting Chinese Antique Porcelain more amusing but because we do not have the same horizon but we live under the same sky makes the jokes shared in small area.
I have been told that sometime in June 2016, the experts cum buyers from the People’s Republic of China are coming over to Malaysia to look for Chinese antique porcelain and these are the learned people  was here last year and they are unlike the most of collectors whom I have met.
 During the recent days before the weekend I was told to go to an auction preview and I called up my friends and the whole group of us had enjoyable hours because the items for auction were genuine. I hope that in future there will be more events like this to keep up the interest for collectors.

I noticed that most of the Nyonya porcelain wares can be bought in Bandung and Jingdezhen whereas good items like blue and white and others need to be sourced and in the chance of a lifetime you may get it or may not get it. It is said and known that Chinese Antique Porcelain can be easily imitated in Bandung and was joined by Jing dezhen later. Learn to tell what is and what is not the imitations made in these two places and also write down the discovery for your follower or followers. Proving is most important in authentication and many collectors based it on reign marks by saying that the reign marks tells the time of manufacture but these collectors don’t want to admit to the fact that new made items with reign marks can be produced in Jing dezhen today. There is a way to tell and to test whether the artefacts are old or new but many collectors are not willing to listen and understand. A friend told me that you talk based on facts but the other chap talks based on the way to confuse people. This chap is a collector with many pieces highly valued.
