Context:

A ceramic industry flourished in north-central Thailand during the 14th through 16th centuries, and recent archaeological findings suggest that several hundred kilns were active in the region. This striking jar was produced by the Si Satchanalai kilns, famed for its green-glazed wares, which are often called celadons in the West (after a character in a 17th-century French play who wore a green costume). Sawankhalok is the current name of the region where they were produced. During the time of the Sukhothai empire (c. 1350-1451), this area was known as Si Satchanalai, a designation now commonly used for these works. The unusual shape, body, and glaze of this jar point to the variety of wares associated with the Si Satchalanai kilns. The buff-colored body is decorated with a deeply incised design of rippling lines, which has been covered with a thin, translucent sea-green glaze. The richness of the decoration is typical of the finer pieces produced at the Si Satchanalai kilns.
