My Thai wife has bought this vase online through Liveauctioneer  website in 2011 we were not married yet, she was a single , my Thai wife has no idea that she was buying a fake copy production of the Qianlong Emperor  Vase .

She has trusted Mr Jim Amato ( as she was thinking in 2011 ) she thought he is honest good man and it’s a good honest  auction because He auctioning  this vase through a legitimate website ( Liveauctioneer ). My wife Loves antiques especially Asian antiques.

In 2010 she saw through the media  the Most famous vase the Qianlong Revolving Porcelain vase that sold for a world record-breaking £53.1 million at  “Bainbridges Auction” . A similar vase offered for sale at Liveauctioneer Website by Mr Jim Amato through his auction “ Midwest Auction “ at that time My Thai wife thought it’s an original Qianlong vase as mr Jim amato describe it that it is a “ 20th Century or earlier” but actually it was a Fake Copy Reproduction !!

Mr. Jim Amato not satisfied yet with this “big fish catch” ( his victim My Thai wife) so he decided to continue his dirty scame game and decided to abuse and same my wife again after he win first time and offer another “Fake copy Qianlong vase” by sending a Private E-mail to my Thai wife offering her to buy this 2nd fake copy for just only $9,000 USD before he put it online for auction.

In 2019 ,  My Thai wife decided to invest this vase and selling it for an auction to help her Thai son to study in a good university , I told my Thai wife to contact “Bainbridges Auction” asian specialist by sending an E-mail including Photo,so she agreed.

My Thai wife has wake up on a nightmare  after we get the reply that it’s a “ Fake Reproduction Copy “ !!!

I decided to contact many other Professional auction in Hong Kong such as ( Sotheby’s Auction) Asian department to convinced my Thai wife , the answer was  “ Fake Reproduction Copy “.

After many research on google about Midwest auction we found that there is many People like my Thai wife has got a scammed by “ Mr : Jim Amato” And we discover also that he sold again the same exactly typical Fake copy Qianlong vase that he sold it to my Thai wife in the same year of 2011 and used the same Photo also on the auction Catalogue Lot: 27 -  Dec 17 - 2011 sold for $2,750 USD/ (I will Provide photo).
