i should have explained more. the tweetie is the crazy flying bird. that and the chrysanthemums are the primary elements of a lot of Peranakan / Nonya Straits pottery - made for them by the Chinese in Yongdezhen [i think]. The Peranakan are the earlier Chinese traders / businessmen who live throughout Malaysia and Indonesia.
This is so beautiful, love the aqua base color, it looks great on top of your table
This is stunning!
thank you Newfld and Lauren!
bowl made for malacca probably around 1920 peranakan
this is a non festivity bowl because the 'Ashtamangala'is missing still nice well done
