OLD VINTAGE SUKHOTHAI & SAWANKHALOK CELADON 'ANIMALS FIGURE' CERAMIC STONEWARE

Description

A fascinating and simplistic zoomorphic interpretation of a sturdy greenglazed pottery vessel 16/17th century, created in the classic Sukhothai style, from the kiln of Si Satchanalai, near the Sawankhalok village in north central Thailand. Pottery of this type were typically utility vessels used in everyday life, while others were used as ritual objects in religious ceremonies, or funerary burials. Fashioned of hand gathered stonewares clay, the vessel was modeled in the form of a recumbent chicken, sculpted in a globular shape, adapted with a small orifice moulded in its beak, where liquids could be poured through.
The animals of a bulbous shape, nicely detailed and carved in relief. They were initially hand turned on a potters wheel, artistically shaped, fired in a high temperature kilm, and decorated in a pale green celadon glaze, with a dull sheen, peppered with tiny black flecks of iron. The glaze pools short of the base, exposing the natural clay bisque at the footrim. They are in good condition, intact, unrestored, with minor chipping to the base, as would be expected.
