Am still reading this book and observing the differences that the Peranakan Chinese have when it comes to taste, colors and shapes. Being from a similar background and never having been exposed to the wonderfully done colorful porcelain featured in the book, it becomes very interesting to read about who they came to having acquired their own label in the world of Chinese Porcelain.
