Part 7/9:
As the world pivots to digital platforms, Hotlotz has embraced online bidding fully. Elton marvels at how watching the numbers increment during a sale can be as exhilarating as a live event. One such auction saw a kamcheng—the porcelain vessel—reach S$14,000 before closing out. "It’s always unpredictable, which is part of the thrill," Elton notes.
Diverse Collections: From Ceramics to Fashion
Hotlotz’s auctions aren’t limited to ceramics. The house showcases an eclectic mix that includes vintage cigarette cases, Art Deco pieces, and designer fashion. Ben, who handles fashion sales, points out a collection of luxury handbags and jewelry spanning decades. He even demonstrates trying on a piece from John Galliano from 2006, illustrating the accessible and engaging nature of their sales.
