[QUOTE="Shangas, post: 9563408, member: 360"]As far as I'm concerned, this is nyonyaware. It matches the style and colour palette and decorative themes/motifs of authentic pieces I've seen, and it's of the right age. Perhaps, but how many people would even know what that is? Most people have never even heard of the Peranakan, as this thread alone attests to... Yeah - and that's what makes it so damn confusing. Like, I have a friend who has a literal cupboard full of nyonyaware that his grandparents brought over from Malacca when they moved to Australia back in the 80s or whatever it was...nobody's gonna tell him that stuff isn't authentic - it's been in his family since-new, which was probably a century ago, going by its appearance.[/QUOTE]
