Thai originates from the Sanskrit words 'paunch'
meaning five and 'rang' meaning colors. It refers
to a special classification of fine porcelain
featuring various traditional Thai design elements
presented as a composition of the five primary
colors - red, blue, green, yellow and black -
also known as pentachromatic porcelain.

of bencharong and Lai Nam Thong Sino-Thai porcelain

in the 17th century during the Ayutthaya
period and continued until the 19th century.
