Description

"Nonya ware" is the name given to a variety of porcelain made during the 19th and early 20th centuries at Ch'ing-te Chen, commonly found amoungst the Straits Chinese of Penang, Malacca, and Singapore. It is highly distinctive in its multi-coloured enamelled decoration, and was used on festive occasions. "Kitchen Ch'ing" has been coined to name the common household pottery, often decorated in blue and white, of Ch'ing-te Chen or south Chinese provincial manufacture, found in daily use in Malaysian households, and indeed throughout South-East Asia.
