如何探索峇峇娘惹文化 - “24cm大盘子”

 大家好， 谢谢大家浏览我的专栏。如有什么意见，可以留下意见。我会在短期里回复你。

哈哈~对不起迟来的第十集的如何探索娘惹文化，这一集会带给你们更加了解峇峇娘惹“白底粉彩盘”陶瓷。Haha~ Sorry for the late tenth episode of How to Explore Nyonya Culture. This episode will give you a better understanding of Baba Nyonya "white background with pink" ceramics.

 白底粉彩陶瓷在峇峇娘惹家庭里，是很普通的陶瓷之一。这样的陶瓷都很容易在峇峇娘惹家庭里找到或看到, 同时白底粉彩陶瓷也是娘惹们常用来盛放的早午晚餐的白饭和菜肴等~因为峇峇娘惹家族会用白底粉彩陶瓷在长桌宴时来招待客人或生意伙伴。同时也会吃长桌宴当天/晚讨论男婚女嫁之事。在这些白底粉彩陶瓷比较便宜过有彩色陶瓷如：土耳其绿色，粉红，黄色，olive green等~White-base porcelain is a common item in Baba-Nyonya households. It's easy to find and see, and is often used by Peranakan families to serve rice and other dishes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Baba-Nyonya families often use white-base porcelain to entertain guests and business partners during long-table banquets. They also discuss marriages during the banquet itself. While white-base porcelain is relatively inexpensive, there are also colored porcelains like turquoise, pink, yellow, and olive green.

        除了用在盛放的早午晚餐的白饭和菜肴，经常白底粉彩陶瓷也有另一个用途那就是会用在峇峇娘惹办婚礼吃晚餐长桌宴时使用的，所以我相信当年的峇峇娘惹家庭一定会顶造至少有十套大大小小的盘，碗和汤匙。这次的不同是我才发现原来是有最大的盘子这就是24cm大的盘子。同时大大小小盘里都会有一只凤+牡丹花为主，而只有最小盘唯有3寸没有凤只有牡丹花为主。Besides being used to hold rice and dishes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, white-based porcelain also served another purpose: at long banquets at Baba and Nyonya weddings. I believe Baba and Nyonya families back then would have crafted at least ten sets of plates, bowls, and spoons of varying sizes. The difference this time was that I discovered the largest plates were 24cm. Each of these plates featured a phoenix and peony flowers, while the smallest, 3-inch plate, lacked the phoenix and only featured peonies.

       我相信24cm的大盘子在以前一套里也不会有多片，所以在现代市场上是很少很少遇见了，除非是老收藏家或娘惹家族留下来才有机会遇见。真的要珍惜 😊I believe that in the past, there wouldn’t be many 24cm plates in a set, so it’s very rare to see one in the market now. You’ll only have a chance to see one if it’s left behind by an old collector or a Nyonya family. You really have to cherish it 😊
