Qing Dynasty Bowls From Peranakan Family

The earliest and simplest earthenware used in the Straits settlements was rough and ready blue and white made for domestic use in South China. Later, finer ware was purposely made for export to Southeast Asia, like the shallow bowls from my collection, are the so-called miners' bowls. They were used as rice bowls by tin miners in the Malay Peninsula.
