Benjarong, the Royal porcelain of Thailand. In the early Rattanakosin period, Benjarong porcelain items were highly prized and used only in the Royal Household and Upper Class Thai families.
Benjarong, meaning 5 colors is handcrafted from clay, fired in charcoal ovens and finished in fine gold plating. Each piece consists of hand-applied, real gold masks laid over the white ceramic, enabling the artist to produce a tactile, detailed Thai pattern around the 18K gold.
