Straits Chinese Porcelain - intended for the Straits Chinese community in the former Straits Settlements of Penang, Malacca and Singapore. An older term is Nonya (Nyonya) ware, referring to porcelain used by married Chinese women of some standing, in Malaysia.

Peranakan meaning 'local born', is a name for the descendants of the early Chinese immigrants in the Malacca straits area, and also for their unique culture. Chinese porcelain made for the Straits-Chinese has its own unique designs often similar to the textile patterns worn by the peranakan women, called nyonyas.
