Made in China, Made for the Straits: The Story of Peranakan Porcelain with Benjamin

A teapot might be made in China, ordered through Shanghai, and used at a wedding in Singapore. So where does its story belong? In this episode of How Art You, I speaks with Benjamin about Peranakan porcelain and the people who shaped it. From wedding tea ceremonies to afternoon tea, they explore how different ways of drinking tea influenced the forms and designs of these objects and why “made in China” tells only part of their story. -- Hosting provided by SoundOn
