Fruit and Vegetable Carving history:
Fruit Carving is the art of cutting or carving fruit into beautiful designs.It is originated in Thailand and one of its oldest art forms and heritages. It started in 1364 when Nang Nopamas decorated the floating lamp for the Royal Festival. She carved fruits and vegetables in a variety of flowers which were used to decorate the floating lamp making it to look like a huge water lily flower. When king Phra Ruang saw what she had created he appreciated it and declared it to be an art heritage of Thailand. This knowledge has been passed on from generation to generation and through loved ones, especially in The Royal Palace.
