Porcelain dancing spoons silk scarf
If anything reflects the indulgence of the Peranakan / Baba Nyonya culture it’s their spoons. A purely functional tool to most, the increasingly rare porcelain spoons of the Baba Nyonya were commissioned for special occasions and ceremonies. The finest craftsman would then create each one, painstakingly adorning them with intricate motifs.
This scarf blends striking colours with ornate symbols. The mythical phoenix represents beauty and grace – a common motif in Peranakan porcelain. It’s joined by a lady dressed in traditional Nyonya Kebaya.
