According to a report in the Vietnamnet daily on Tuesday, Dinh Cong Tuong, 48, began collecting antique ceramic items at the age of 24 after his aunt gave him an ancient bowl and plate as gifts, Xinhua news agency reported.

His collection includes ancient pottery items from Vietnam, China, Singapore, France and Japan dating back from the 12th century to the early 20th century.
