Wat Arun in Bangkok is decorated with a large amount of jade tiles...
and tons of broken Chinese porcelain..
..all the ceramic that decorates the temple was brought from China as ballast in trading ships. So Jade tiles really started off as cheap goods to fill space when shipping more expensive products, attractive packing peanuts if you will. |
