This bowl is a piece of Thai Benjarong ware, a traditional style of Thai porcelain that typically uses five main enamel colors and often features extensive gold detailing, as seen in the intricate floral and geometric patterns on this piece. The central black-and-white image is a portrait of King Chulalongkorn (who reigned from 1868 to 1910) and his queen consort, Saovabha Phongsri.
Benjarong pottery was historically reserved exclusively for the royal court and high-ranking nobility during the Rattanakosin period of Thailand. The technique originated in China, but was developed for the Siamese royal family, with production later beginning in Thailand during the reign of King Rama V.
