This incense burner features two central pink panels containing motifs of phoenix and peonies. The border is of pink ground, showing the eight buddhist emblems, while a stylised lotus petal border lines the base of the incense burner. The base bears the shopmark of “Jing Zhen Tu Mao Xing Zao” (景镇涂茂兴造).Peranakan porcelain, or nyonyaware, are terms used to refer to a type of overglazed, polychrome, enamelled porcelain made in China (probably Jingdezhen) specifically to suit the taste of Peranakan Chinese communities in insular Southeast Asia (Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia). It is recognised by its distinctive blend of bright, contrasting colours and elaborate designs, decorated with traditional Chinese auspicious and symbolic motifs.
