Dessert bowls were often commissioned or purchased as part of a larger set of Nonyaware. These were often used as part of a dinner service or as special pieces on a spring table in the wedding chamber during a traditional Peranakan wedding. They may also be used to serve tea or to be placed on the altar table. Dessert bowls were often used to serve sweet desserts like ‘kueh ee’, ‘chendol’ and ‘tai bak’.
