In the history of Thailand there has been a fluctuation of the popularity of Nielloware and in the past Thai kings offered presents to other sovereigns in the world in the form of Golden Nielloware artifacts. In addition to the presents given to King Louis XIV, and to the head of the Catholic church, Queen Victoria of England received Nielloware gifts from King Rama IV in 1857. In addition, King Rama presented rulers of some countries in Asia and Europe with Niello objects. In the 20th Century, King Rama IX has continued this tradition by offering Niello presents to other international heads of state.
