Description

Charoensri of Thailand creates this pair of ceramic incense holders in the form of an elephant carrying a lotus flower, both important symbols in Thai culture. The lotus flower is often a symbol of enlightenment, and the elephant has been celebrated for its longevity, endurance, and strength. The incense holders are glazed in blue with a crackle finish and have a small hole at the top for placing an incense stick.

The artisan describes how she began her journey in ceramics: “I visited our friend’s ceramics factory and I observed each step in the process. Seeing my interest, our friend persuaded me to try this work. Immediately, I began learning from skilled artisans. Finally, I was ready to design our ceramics.”

THE STORY BEHIND THE PRODUCT

Artisan Organization: Charoensri

Country: Mexico

I'm Charoensri Chotayanon and I was born in Northern Thailand. Before I became involved with porcelain ceramics, I worked at a hotel for about 20 years while my husband was a building contractor. He had a friend who ran a ceramics factory, which I visited on several occasions and I observed each step in the process, from making molds, casting, decorating and glazing. All required a lot of skill. I found it exciting to watch the artisans and talk to them about their work.

Seeing my interest, our friend persuaded me to work from home, as he could use more help. My husband agreed, and I said yes.

"Immediately, I began learning from skilled artisans. They taught me to how to select and work with clay, to prepare the glaze and to select the firing temperature. Finally, I was ready to complete a piece and launched a workshop with 30 artisans to work with me. Unfortunately, an economic crisis hit us hard and we had to downside.I decided to offer our skills to another factory as well.

"Then I began designing our ceramics. I'm still developing my work and continue learning about this art form.

"During the dry season, the people who live in the mountains come down and help me. I hope you like our work.""
