Property Value
dbo:abstract
  • Benjarong (Thai เบญจรงค์) ware is a kind of painted Thai ceramics porcelain. While the name literally means "five colours," it is a figurative description and actual decoration can have anywhere between three and eight colours. For the decoration, repetitive forms, usually geometric or flower-based, are used. A design is usually named after the decoration base name and a background color (for example, Phum Kao Bin on dark blue). Enamel colors are applied and overglazed, creating a swelling effect over the surface of the piece. The production process is incredibly labor-intensive, as each color is applied individually, and the piece is kiln fired after the application of each color. The firing process brightens the colors of the finished piece and adds to its beauty. Gold is also used in painting the porcelain. (en)
  • Bencharong (Benjarong) är en typ av orientaliskt porslin. Det innebär oftast en typ av kinesisk polykrom emaljering, där man använt de fem färgerna svart, grönt, gult, rött och vitt. Porslinet tillverkas ofta i porlinsstaden Jingdezhen för den thailändska (siamesiska) marknaden. Ordet kommer från sanskrit "Panch Rang" som betyder fem färger, samma innebörd som det kinesiska "wu cai". Wucai benämns föremål av samma slag som tillverkades för de kinesiska inhemska marknaden.
