I have the feeling that some collectors, collected Chinese arts in the past or concurrently, or would like to collect Chinese arts. But, due to budget (monetary, space/display, knowledge etc....), they might decided to either start here, or shift to here (i.e. moving from a large ranch in Texas to a small apartment in Tokyo!) due to conditions beyond their control, etc...


Hi David,

If my information is correct Bob Stevens started collecting snuff bottles for exactly that reason. He originally collected larger Chinese porcelains, but when he ran out of display space in his home he decided to switch to something smaller.
