Copper enamelware with vibrant floral motifs often were made in sets and offered as donations to high-ranking Buddhist monks. Imitating nielloware-silver engraved and filled with enamel, gold, and silver-less expensive alternatives like this example were produced in China for the Thai market. Its rose pink palette, known as famille rose, was used beginning in the 1720s.
