Why You’ll Love It
Bursting with cheerful color and intricate detail, this OOAK artisan porcelain tea service features a richly layered sunshine-yellow Chintz pattern adorned with tiny songbirds, multicolored floral bouquets, and shimmering antique gold trim. The densely decorated surfaces evoke antique English china with a wonderfully romantic, collected-over-time character. Perfect for a garden tea room, sunroom vignette, country cottage, or grand dollhouse dining display. This set includes 7 pieces: 1 lidded teapot, 1 lidded two-handled sugar bowl, 1 creamer pitcher, 2 teacups with matching saucers, and 1 scalloped serving tray.
The owner said this set is called Benjarong porcelain which means "5 colors". It was purchased in Bangkok. This type of porcelain was historically reserved for the royal family.

A Note About Value
Every miniature we offer has been carefully evaluated for its craftsmanship, rarity, condition, provenance, and collectibility. Many of the artisan pieces we sell are one-of-a-kind works that may never appear on the market again. While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.
Our pricing reflects the miniature's place within today's collector market and the years we've spent studying the artists, histories, and values that make these tiny works of art so special.
A Commitment to Research
Every miniature has a story, and uncovering it is one of our greatest passions. We carefully research each piece, but unsigned or illegible works can remain mysteries. If you can identify an artist or provide additional information, we'd be delighted to hear from you and will gladly update the listing to preserve their legacy.
