QR Code Link to This Post
Benjarong porcelain is collectible and expensive. It's very fine porcelain with real gold trim.
This one is a little larger than normal and includes a wood stand, about 7" tall x 5" wide. It was purchased in Thailand about 50 years ago. It is in perfect condition, looks new.

Benjarong Thaiware is a kind of painted Thai ceramics porcelain. While the name literally means "five colours," it is a figurative description and actual decoration can have anywhere between three to eight colours. For the decoration, repetitive forms, usually geometric or flower-based, are used. A design is usually named after the decoration base name and a background color (for example, Phum Kao Bin on dark blue).
Enamel colors are applied and overglazed, creating a swelling effect over the surface of the piece. The production process is incredibly labor-intensive, as each color is applied individually, and the piece is kiln fired after the application of each color. The firing process brightens the colors of the finished piece and adds to its beauty. Gold is also used in painting the porcelain.
