Description: Bencharong, a unique class of Chinese export ware, was made exclusively for Thai royalty and the ruling elite in the late 18th and 19th centuries. These rare and highly collectable enamelled porcelain belongs in time and place to the broader tradition of Chinese export art for the European and American markets, but it is distinctively Thai. --
