đź“ś Description
Fine small Bencharong Porcelain Toh Jar with domed cover, richly decorated in vibrant polychrome enamels. The body features alternating cartouches depicting a seated celestial Deity figure surrounded by stylised foliate and flame motifs on a dark ground. The lid is similarly decorated with floral and geometric motifs and finished with a pointed knop.
Traditional five-colour enamel palette including green, pink, yellow, blue, and iron-red over a white porcelain body. Interior unglazed with natural kiln speckling consistent with age. A classic example of Thai royal court style enamelwork.
Collector’s Notes: Bencharong ware was produced for the Siamese court, often manufactured in China to Thai taste during the Ayutthaya Period. The name translates as “five colours,” referencing the distinctive polychrome enamel technique. Toh Jars were used for betel, cosmetics, or ceremonial purposes and are highly sought after by collectors of Southeast Asian ceramics.
