Antique Nyonya Wares

Note the distinct colouring which do not usually find such strong colours in Chinese porcelain ware.

This type of porcelain only started in Malacca under Dutch influence, and was an important part of Peranakan households. Most of these wares have intricate motif of flowers, butterflies and phoenixes in bright yellow and rose pink, unlike typical Chinese porcelain.
