Handicrafts and antiques can be found in various places in and around Melaka, but be aware of ‘false’ stuffs.
Pick porcelains for souvenirs. The choices are ranging from the rare Sung, Ming and Ching dynasties porcelains, to the 17th-century Dutch and 18th-century Japanese porcelain.
Check out some beautiful filigree and repousse goldware and silverware. And don’t miss some nice handicrafts made of screwpine, rattan, bamboo and wood.
Take home the ever popular batik and songket. Block-printed batik is the most common, while free-hand painted one is the most expensive. Meanwhile, songket is a brocade of silk interwoven with silver or gold threads with beautiful foliage and floral motifs. When you these items, it means you buy art pieces.
