 Chalre Collection

 

The focus of The Chalre Collection is Chinese and Asian Tradeware Ceramics -- in other words, Ceramics that were traded throughout Asia. Tradeware Ceramics (Porcelain, Stoneware and Earthenware) tell the story of how the peoples of Asia forged social and commercial ties with each other during ancient times. 

 

Of the many thousands of traded items over the centuries,  Ceramics is the only one durable enough to have survived into modern times to give us a record of Asia's past.  

 

The Ceramic Art collection of Chalre Associates came about through the efforts of the firm’s principals, Rebecca Bustamante and Richard Mills.  It is their intention that a significant portion of The Chalre Collection become property of a museum foundation or other public body in the future. 

 

In creating the collection, major recognition must be given to Jose (Joe) Yusef Makmak for his considerable support and friendship.  Our thoughts are with Joe, formerly a prominent ceramic antiquities dealer in Philippines, who passed away in 2008.

Appraisal, Authentication, Evaluation, Assessment of Chinese and Asian Ceramic Art by The Chalre Collection.

 Authentication of Chinese Ceramics

Online Appraisal & 

Identification

The Chalre Collection of Ceramic Art provides authentication and fair market appraisal services to investors in ceramics. We specifically and solely focus our assessments on antique and ancient Chinese (and Southeast Asian) Ceramics.  

We approach our appraisal services not as academics or clerical generalists but as disciplined investment managers with personal stakes in the specific investment class. Our authentication and appraisal services are overseen by Richard Mills, a holder of the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) designation, the most recognized and respected investment credential in the world. 

The appraisal team of The Chalre Collection performs appraisals and identifications for the purposes of investment management, insurance coverage (and claims), estate planning and probate, charitable donations and fair-market value. 

To learn more about your works of ceramic art, choose the type of appraisal you are interested in and fill out the form below. We will send an invoice for the amount listed below.  All appraisal customers will receive a free copy of Unbreakable Investing in Chinese Ceramics ($20 value).
