ABOUT BENJARONG-

Traditional Benjarong (Thai เบญจรงค์; "five colors") ware is a traditional Tahi porcelain, typically decorated with repetitive geometric or flower-based designs using three to eight colors. Hand-applied, gold masks are laid over the white ceramic, and enamel colors are then applied around the gold and overglazed, creating a tactile effect over the surface of the piece. Each color is applied individually and the piece is kiln fired after each application.The firing process brightens the colors of the finished piece and adds to its beauty. The style of multi-colored enamels on a white porcelain base originated from Ming Dynasty China.

Patterns include traditional Thai motifs, such as flora, plant and flame designs, as well as cultural symbols,. From the thirteenth to the eighteenth centuries, benjarong porcelain was made exclusively for the use of the royal court; later its use extended to the upper class.

Today, benjarong porcelain is appreciated all over the world.
