• Designed in Singapore, fired by Kutani porcelain craftsmen in Japan — design souvenir, not mass tourist kitsch
• Fragile: hand-carry or have the store bubble-wrap for checked luggage
• For antique Peranakan ware (kamcheng jars, tiffin carriers), head to Katong/Joo Chiat shophouses instead — budget hundreds to thousands
