#1062 Pair of Ceramic Horses from Mengrai Kilns

Pair of ceramic horses from the Mengrai Kilns in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Mengrai Kilns is one of earliest ceramics factories, established in Chiang Mai some 40 years ago. The factory's uniqueness is in their glaze, which are an awe-inspiring palette of jeweled-hues including greens, blues, reds and purples, all created using traditional wood-ash methods developed in China some 2,000 years ago. Difficult to produce colors are a challenge for Mengrai, and while the factory still has the original wood-fired kilns that were used when they opened, they’ve modernised with the use of gas-powered kilns.
