About the Item

This item is a Benjarong porcelain bowl featuring a portrait of the late 19th and early 20th-century Siamese monarchs, King Chulalongkorn (Rama V) and Queen Saovabha Phongsri. This bowl is a piece of Thai Benjarong ware, a traditional style of Thai porcelain that typically uses five main enamel colors and often features extensive gold detailing, as seen in the intricate floral and geometric patterns on this piece. The central black-and-white image is a portrait of King Chulalongkorn (who reigned from 1868 to 1910) and his queen consort, Saovabha Phongsri. Benjarong pottery was historically reserved exclusively for the royal court and high-ranking nobility during the Rattanakosin period of Thailand. The technique originated in China, but was developed for the Siamese royal family, with production later beginning in Thailand during the reign of King Rama V.

Antique Chinese Porcelain Bencharong Bowl for the Thai Market, 18th century.
Located in Point Richmond, CA
Antique Chinese Porcelain Bowl for the Thai Market, 18th century. Bencharong enamel decoration with Buddhist imagery on a black background. This classic porcelain bowl form having a raised narrow foot rim and slightly everted mouth rim is richly decorated in bright polychrome enamels much favored by the nobility in eighteenth century Siam. This colorful style became known as “bencharong”, a term that derives from two Sanskrit words – panch (‘five’) and rong (‘colour’) and which relates to the number of colours used to decorate such porcelain. This bowl is decorated with typically Thai motifs. The sides are decorated with four Thepanom (Buddhist celestial beings) each wearing a broad necklace of petals and seated on a lotus within triangular cartouches that have a coral-red ground. Four Norasingh (mythical forest-dwelling semi-deity with a human head, torso, and arms but with the hind-quarters of a lion and the tail and hoofs of a deer) against black back grounds filled with flaming pink kranok motifs. This design is framed by two floral bands top and bottom and another double band on the interior mouth rim. The interior glazed in a soft turquoise green and remnants of a floral pattern roundel on center. Sets of porcelain such as this example were commissioned from the Jingdezhen kilns in China and exported to Thailand. 6-7/8 in. in diameter x 3-5/8 high (17.5 x 9cm) 16.7 oz. (475g.) Ayutthaya Period, 18th century. Provenance: German Private Collection.
