Welcome to MyChinaCollection.com
Collecting art is a passion. Maybe even a sickness. Holding a beautiful vase that was made over 1000 years ago, without a chip, makes me feel humble and thoughtful; preserved perfection and history still alive in a tender body of clay or porcelain. It may have been used or worn, but most likely buried in a grave to fulfill the last will of an earlier nobleman. Just as perfect as when it was made.
It sometimes feels like breaking a seal when possessing such precious artifact meant for an eternal life or an endless journey in the dark. With great respect I also feel proud turning light on such a unique culture heritage.
Its hard to say stop when you are a keen collector and you know you are a true one when you several times have exceeded your purchase budget and gone through slepless nights thinking how you can solve the payment of the artifact you have just bought. I know them well, and still hope it was worth it. The best things you buy are normaly above your limit but seldom under expectations.
This collection is called "Hommage", a tribute to my great-grandfather Albert Gotfred Nielsen who served as Custom commisioner in Shanghai, Canton, Chefoo and Amoy under the legendary Sir Robert Hart (GI) from 1886 -1919. He was honored with the Order of the Striped Tiger "Wen Ho" for his service as comander at the Wei Hai Wei fortress during the Cino-Japanese War in 1894. He was also a keen collector and has inspired my interest in Chinese art. Some of his items are also present in this collection.

Ancient Art South-East Asia
The Kingdom of Khmer (Kambodia) and Pagan (Myanmar) was cultural highlights that dominated their regions for more that 400-600 years. Both cultures dissapeared during the Middle age, Pagan due to Mongol invasion in the 13th century and the Khmer culture because of climatic changes and internal strife around 15th century. The Khmer culture was completely forgotten and overgrown until the ruins were rediscovered during the 19th Century and impressed archeologist and historians with an overwhelming civilization. This collection has an important collection of artifacts from these dynasties.
