Royal Selangor Straits Expression - Phoenix & Peony Bowl

This is Royal Selangor Straits Expression - Phoenix & Peony Bowl. This exquisite pewter bowl is a near identical facsimile of a Zhonghua minguo period (1912 - 1949) porcelain original, showcasing the signature features of that era.

Measuring a compact H8.5cm x 13.7cm x 13.7cm, this bowl is a true work of art. The 24K gilded chrysanthemum rim adorns the sculpted representations of a majestic phoenix in flight on one side of the exterior, while a vibrant spray of peony blossoms graces the other. The combination of phoenix and peony symbolizes prosperity and honor, making this bowl not just a piece of decor, but a symbol of good fortune.

As you gaze inside the bowl, you'll find a single peony in full bloom, adding an extra touch of elegance to the design. To display this remarkable piece, a walnut-stained nyatoh stand is included, allowing you to showcase it with pride.

But that's not all - we believe in making this bowl uniquely yours. That's why we've included a 2cm x 8cm landscape orientation engraving plate for personalization. Whether it's your name, a special date, or a heartfelt message, you can add a personal touch to this already exceptional piece.

The Royal Selangor Straits Expression collection is a modern interpretation of extravagantly colored nonya ware, which is unique to the Peranakan communities of Penang, Malacca, and Singapore. This bowl is a perfect representation of the beauty and cultural significance of these unique art forms.
