The Magic of Borosilicate Glass

The gradual infusion of tea results in a beautiful changing diffusion of colour. It’s likely one could find a tea liquor colour for every part of the spectrum. But it’s often hidden away in a mug or teapot.

With Borosilicate glass, it’s possible to enjoy this visual delight.

Let’s get technical for a moment…

Borosilicate glass contains about 15% of the ingredient Boron Trioxide, which allows for a very low coefficient of thermal expansion [the rate at which glass expands when exposed to heat].

This means it won’t crack or shatter under extreme temperature changes like regular glass. It’s also highly resistant to other chemicals or acids, so it’s free of any foreign taste or colour.

Stories

The History of Phum Bao Bin with Butterfly & Benjarong

The pattern dates back to the reign of King Rama V, King Chulalongkorn 1868 - 1910. This is the trellis pattern, made up of the rice motif, a symbol of the Thai people, in angular gold lines. Only a skilled artist, with excellent eyesight and a steady hand is able to successfully complete such a drawing wihtout faults. The Phum Kao Bin is the original Benjarong design.
King Rama V was known for moving Siam towards prosperous modernisation. For example, he abolished slavery and ensured sustainble education systems were in place. Whilst in power, he ensured the traditions of Siam were preserved as much as possible and he even promoted the use of high quality artisan products as he didn't want this to be forgotten. This mass transition exhibited during pre-modern times can be regarded as unique thanks to King Rama V. The East India Company's Benjarong Collection aims to capture this never-to-be-forgotten story.
