The porcelain, specially made in Jingdezhen, in Thai shapes and with Thai decorations, was for use during banquets in monasteries and government houses, known to collectors as BENCHARONG ware. The rich over glaze palette combines green, red,blue, black and turquoise with white, as well as some yellow.
