Southeast Asia, Thailand, Sawankhalok culture, Sukhothai Period, ca. 14th to 16th century CE. A beautiful wide-basin pottery bowl with a wave-form linear motif incised across its interior and a finely ridged exterior surface – giving the vessel a gourd-like presence. The interior basin is a somber sage green, while the exterior presents as more of gradient ranging from sage green at its top to a mottled cream-hue that speckles the majority of its base. The bottom of the vessel is left unglazed – typical of Thai celadon wares. A sizeable vessel with a mesmerizing craquelure spread throughout. Size: 11.3" in diameter x 3.25" H (28.7 cm x 8.3 cm)

Provenance: ex-Ashland University Museum, Ashland, Ohio, USA, donated to Ashland University between July 1994 to December 1998
