    Far too much false information has already been published, both online and in hard copy

    If they did, then the reverse would also be true: they get saturated with moisture when there's water in a vase or tea in a teapot

    Nice site man love the work that celadon dish looks lovely. My post is old I tend to stay away from straits due to prices being over retail even common dish. I really dig that site you created it?

    Yes. Thank you so much. You are right that Straits Chinese porcelain is simply not worth the prices they're fetching now, in addition to which there are so many fakes around you wouldn't believe. Some have goodheartedly tried to advise others but they refuse to listen, go off in a huff claiming that other "experts" have told them that the fakes are genuine antiques, and are never heard from again. Their loss!

    A more comprehensive blog: https://kenyap227.wixsite.com/my-site. This is pinned on my Facebook, which deals with Peranakan culture, in particular fake Nyonyaware and misinformed and illogical hypotheses and arguments: https://www.facebook.com/ken.yap.1069020/. I mostly present my side of the argument and leave it to the viewer to make up their own minds and research further: https://bbddduck.wixsite.com/website. It is up to the viewer who they want to follow and listen to.
