Southeast Asia, Thailand, ca. 19th century CE. A wonderful pottery jar of sizable scale presenting a voluminous body with thick walls that rise to a rounded shoulder, a corseted neck, and a flared rim, all sitting upon a narrow, planar base. Enveloped in lustrous, olive-hued glaze, the impressive vessel is adorned with incised decoration, featuring a series of repeated, vertical dashes across the shoulder above 5 horizontal bands. Note the rich marine encrustations of salt, barnacles, and seashells that naturally embellish the exterior, as well as the sand and shells that fill the interior - all lovely indications that this vessel was likely part of a shipwreck. Size: 12.8" Diameter x 18.3" H (32.5 cm x 46.5 cm)

Provenance: private Lumberton, Texas, USA collection, acquired before 2010

Chipping with minor losses to rim. Expected nicks, chips, pitting, and abrasions throughout, all commensurate with age. Otherwise, intact and excellent with nice remaining glaze and detail, as well as rich marine deposits.
