WITH the arrival of the Year of Rooster, plates with rooster motifs have been selling like hot cakes. Nanyang Siang Pau quoted some antique collectors as saying that these dishes were valuable as they were all hand-painted.
The daily said that the plates, known as gong ji wan, were worth about RM20 to RM30 each if they were made 20 years ago, and that many collectors were not willing to sell their old gong ji wan.
