The Snuff Bottle Collection of Mr Tan Hui Seng of Singapore新加坡收藏家陳惠生先生收藏的鼻煙壺專場Mr Tan Hui Seng, a retired entrepreneur and industrialist, is also an avid snuff bottle collector for decades. In the late 1980s, business ventures into China during the early days of the Economic Reform presented him with a rare opportunity to refine his snuff bottle collection. Tan being an active member of various local and international societies, this collection of more than 250 bottles is a result of decades of extensive collecting, enthusiastic learning, and exchanging ideas and knowledge with likeminded collectors and specialists.陳惠生先生不僅是一位退休的企業家及社會活動家，並擁有幾十年的鼻煙壺收藏經驗。八十年代末，中國改革開放所帶來的投資機會也給了陳一個千載難逢的收藏契機。多年的收藏，學習,不斷與同行切磋交流終於促成了今天這二百五十多樣琳瑯滿目，品種繁多的個人收藏。
