Dish green glazed with foliate rim

North-central Thailand, Sukhothai Province, Sisatchanali kilns

15th–16th century

Not on view

Green glazed wares of this type have been identified with the Sisatchanlai kilns north of Sukhothai, in north central Thailand. They appear to have had a long production life, spanning the 15th and sixteenth centuries, and were produced in direct imitation of Chinese Longquan celadon, the famed green wares of Zhejiang Province that became a staple of China’s glazed ceramic export industry. The Thai imitations are technically inferior ad were presumably marketed to a lower end clientele in Southeast Asia. They were transported downstream on the Yom River system to Ayutthaya, which by the later 15th century was emerging as a major Asian entrepot. They have been recorded throughout insular Southeast Asia and the Philippines, and appear archaeologically at such disparate locations as southern Japan, Sri Lanka and Fostat, (Old Cairo).
