on sale! $107.96
As symbols of Thailand, elephants were prized by royalty, and white elephants were destined for the king's personal use. Khun Santiparp creates an elegant statuette in Benjarong porcelain with golden details. A traditional style of hand-painted porcelain, Benjarong takes its name from the Sanskrit words panch and rang, which means "five colors." Santiparp shapes the piece from kaolin and fires it. He then applies a glaze of burnt lime, wood ashes, and secret natural materials and high-fires it. When the piece has cooled, Santiparp applies paints and gilt by hand, one color at a time, and fires the piece a third time. Benjarong requires only a damp cloth to wipe away dust. It is not dishwasher safe. If cleaning is needed, use mild dish soap and soft sponge. Never use abrasive pads or scouring agents. |
