Benjarong, the royal porcelain of Thailand,
wears the grace of Thai culture through each carefully placed brushstroke.
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Benjarong, meaning 'five colours', was originally made in China,
hand crafted 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 gold, using at least
five colours.
The rare beauty of Benjarong allows it to be displayed as a single
piece or a set, to compliment interior design. Benjarong is a product
of Thailand that is cherished by recipients and admired by all.
All of these products are available at the Shinawatra Home Mart,
Bangkok,
Phuket
and Chiang
Mai.
