In order to expand the antique and handicraft market, Mr Goh has established long-term relationships with Beijing Foreign Trade Company, Beijing Huaxia Company, Tianjin Foreign Trade Company, and Jiangsu Foreign Trade Company. His effort to explore new markets for snuff bottles with interior painting also brought him to Hengshui, Shijiazhuang, Raoyang and other areas in Hebei Province and Zibo in Shandong Province. To acquire new sources for ancient red lion porcelain, he also visited the antique markets in Beijing, Tianjin, Nanjing and those outside the Badaling of the Great Wall. Over the years, Goh has fostered deep friendships in the antique circles in Singapore and Malaysia too.

The perdurable hazy glaze is robust yet glamorous and soft appealing. The wares emit an enduringly warm and fascinating elegance, expressing their profoundly subtle beauty. Each of these ceramics has lived through countless hardships and survived many historical journeys. Even after weathering through generations of prosperous days and surviving the dark days of the war, they still exude a tranquil charm, earning them their place in the museum as rare treasures.
