Abstract
Southeast Asia was probably one of the first regions in the world that was captured by the lure of imported Chinese porcelain. As early as the twelfth century, the Chinese customs official Chau Ju-kua (1911) recorded that Chinese porcelain was a major trading item at various ports in Southeast Asia, where many enthusiastic buyers were willing to trade in exchange for their precious local products. Consumers in Southeast Asia were not mere recipients of Chinese products, but actively appropriated Chinese porcelain to further their positions.
