Mengrai Kilns Rop
About us | The small family enterprise was named mengrai kilns, in memory of king mengrai the great, who founded chiangmai ("the new city") to be the capital of lanna Kingdom about 700 years ago. Mengrai kilns is deeply rooted in the historical and artistic traditions of that part of Thailand known as lanna thai. The northern thai people have an innate talent for producing handicrafts of great artistic merit from local materials. A mastery of the potter's art is one of their skills. Nowadays, the products of mengrai kilns enjoy a global reputation. Much of what is made is exported; the operation is deliberately kept on a small scale, to facilitate personal supervision in order to maintain and improve quality. As far as possible, traditional materials and methods remain in use. Only some thirty-nine craftsmen and women are employed at the factory, and each is a creative artist in his or her own right. They are proud of their skills, and sign each piece which they make. Other marks on the foot of each piece, besides the mengrai kilns logo, are the royal initial of his majesty the king of Thailand, followed by a number to indicate the year of his majesty's reign in which the piece was created. Our product line consists of a wide variety of tableware, figurines, and home deco. Our tableware is dishwasher and microwave safe. The color options and designs are endless. |
