Peranakan Chinese Porcelain : Vibrant Festive Ware of the Straits Chinese

---

Overview: Exuberant, ornate and colourful, Peranakan Chinese porcelain is a variety of polychrome enamelled export ware made to specification in China during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries for the exclusive use of the Peranakan or Straits-born Chinese communities in Penang, Malacca and Singapore. Often called Nyonya ware after the Nyonyas or womenfolk of this unique subcategory of Chinese whose ancestors first settled in Malacca in the fourteenth century, it was used on festive occasions and special functions such as weddings, birthdays, anniversaries and Chinese New Year. Peranakan Chinese porcelain is distinctive for its colourful famille rose enamels, enduring motifs, most often phoenixes, peonies and other symbols of marital bliss and longevity, and simple, functional shapes.
