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.
