A blue and white Straits Chinese Nonya plate. Very unusual to find Nonya ware in blue and white. Nonya wares are over-glaze polychrome enamelled porcelains made in Jingdezhen in the Kiangsi province of China for the Straits Chinese, or Babas, whose female counterparts are called Nonyas, hence the term Nonya ware. Nonya wares were mainly reserved for festive occasions and special functions. Size: W.15.6 x 11.4cm. H.3.5cm. Condition: No repairs.
