Peranakan treasures snapped up

Visitors admiring the antiques on display.

A FAMILLE rose brown Nyonya teapot was among 53 lots of items that went under the hammer during the Straits Chinese Antique Auction in Penang.

Although the iron reign mark on the teapot was unclear, it was said to have been made between 1871 and 1908 under the reign of Emperor Guangxu during the Qing Dynasty.
