Thai Benjarong Porcelain Bowl Hand Painted Pottery Lid Handmade Ceramic Beautiful Art Decorative Elegant Collectible

Description

The Benjarong is a traditional form of Thai Porcelain. The style of multi-colored enamels on a white porcelain base came from Ming dynasty China. The name "Benjarong" was derived from Bali and Sanskrit words Benja and Rong, meaning literally "Five Colors". "Five Colors" really means "many colors" because the hand-painted pieces are usually decorated in three, five, eight colors, or even more. In the 13th - 18th century, Benjarong porcelain was exclusively made for the royal court. Later its use extended to aristocrats and wealthy merchants; today people of all nationalities use Benjarong for formal ware. The designs on the earliest Benjarong used a limited number of colors mostly for religions subjects but eventually a new design style grew up known as "Lai Nam Thong" which used gold as its distinctive colors. In the reign of King Rama II (1809-1851) Lai Nam Thong wares with gorgeous gold accents were very popular. Most people use it as a precious gift to special occasions such as wedding or New Year's day. Also some people use it as the decorate items for houses. Benjarong is the product that anyone would be pleased to receive. Product description: Product Name: Thai Benjarong Bowl. Production: Handmade.
