| Bencharong
Bencharong This craft is a form of exquisitely patterned
pottery, which was used at the tables of the aristocracy.
Its name means "five colours" - usually red,
black, blue, yellow, green - and only these five may
be used to decorate it, although sometimes gold is added.
The glaze is applied by hand, and the patterns are small
and intricate. Very few artists, like those at Krathum
Baen, follow the craft today, so examples of Bencharong
are rare and much sought after.
