The History of Pikul & Benjarong
This mass transition exhibited during pre-modern times can be regarded as unique thanks to King Rama V and The East India Company's Benjarong Collection aims to capture that never-to-be-forgotten story.
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.
How do I clean my Benjarong products?
- Do not wash with any silver because any rust from the silver could cause a grey mark on a piece of Benjarong dinnerware item. - To clean a Benjarong dinnerware items, it is advisable to hand wash only as you would with any other bone china.
- Use a plastic basin as a cushion against a hard metal sink.
- Never use abrasive pads, cleaners or scouring agents.
- Don't let your Benjarong sit in the sink or basin for a long period of time.
- Wash separately from other dinnerware e.g. cutlery.
