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.
