    Greetings!

    I am antique dealer from Japan, used to live in Dublin, OH. I travel USA, UK, France, Belgium and other European countries to find nice antique pieces. My collection focus is western porcelain and glass (esp. uranium glass).

    Would it be okay to ask before leaving for purchasing trip, which town has good antique fair? My last trip was to go to Cardiff, UK. I enjoyed Shepton Mallet and Builth Wells Antique Fairs.

    Welcome to the board.

    Yes it is ok to ask.
    Where do you intend to travel? Which country?

    Also should probably ask when you are thinking of taking your trip.
    A lot of things are canceled here in the US because of the virus.

    Welcome to the forum, MSQ.
    Of course it is ok to ask. As cluttered said, a lot has been canceled because of covid. In places all over the world, really.

    In the UK check out the Malvern Antiques fairs and Malvern Flea & Collectors Fairs. Look at the Three Counties Showground website for dates. We went to the Flea one last week and it was huge!. Didn’t finish getting round the whole thing. It is partly weather dependent though. If it’s wet there are still 2 huge event halls stuffed with sellers but no outside stalls.

    Greeting back to all of you! I am feeling great to be here to be able to ask questions and also to assist others!

    currently I am not planning to go oversea, but when time is good, wanna go to USA (Atlanta or Boston), UK (never been to Scotland) , Central-Southern France (wanna try food in Lyon!), Belgium, or Germany.

    And welcome MSQ.

    I’ve never been but I’ve heard people talk about Brimfields in America. Supposed to be massive, I’d love to go there.

    If you can find Flea Market Flip episodes on Youtube you can see pieces of it. The same for videos posted by Youtuber Blue Bus Dave. He's a dealer.
