"Benjarong (Thai เบญจรงค์) ware is a kind of painted porcelain in Thailand. The name literally means 'five colors'. The painted decoration usually consists of 3 to 8 colors. 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.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benjarong The Sunday Challenge: Hi Key Lighting. I took over 20 photos to get one that I liked. This is much harder to do than it appears. TCSIMG 5053

Museum of Fine Arts - Boston, Massachusetts - Louis Comfort Tiffany created Parakeets and Gold Fish Bowl in 1893 "This magnificent window was painstakingly constructed out of rough and polished pieces of opalescent and “favrile” glass (the latter patented by L. C. Tiffany in 1894), which created effects unlike traditional stained glass windows that relied on uniform, solid-colored pieces of glass along with enameling, paint, or ink to create detailed images. With favrile glass, each piece could have several different rich colors that swirl together in varying degrees of thickness and intensity. Careful glass selection and manipulation allowed the artisans to create form and figure, including shading and depth. The variations in the yellow glass in the background of this window give the effect of ethereal, dappled sunlight, while irregularly shaped pieces of opalescent glass were used to create dimension in the composition. Opaque white drapery glass (so called because the heavily folded glass suggests fabric folds), was used over multicolored glass to suggest the impression of water in the fish bowl. To heighten the illusionistic effect, Tiffany incorporated a real chain to suspend the fish bowl. These daring techniques represented a new direction for Tiffany’s leaded glasswork that he continued to refine for years and for which he is well known today" media.mfa.org/dropbox/docs/pr/antiquesFineArt.pdf AIMG 2734
