This large stoneware bowl was made at the Sawankhalok kilns around the 14th - 15th century. It is heavily-potted and has a foliate rim.

The unglazed base has fired to a deep reddish-brown and in its centre is the round mark of the pontil on which this bowl stood whilst in the kiln during firing. Under the glaze, the inner surface is decora...
This attractively-shaped bowl was made in the 13th - 14th century during the Yuan (AD 1279 - 1368) or early Ming Dynasty (1368 - 1644). It is particularly "heavily-potted" and coated in quite a thick finely-crackled celadon glaze save for the unglazed stacking ring in its centre and its heavy foot. The glaze has a very pleasant "silky-smooth" feel to it. This high-fired type of ware is variously described as stoneware or porcelai...

These jars are now known to have originated from Yunnan province in the south-...
The bowl is cast and then finished by fine chisel work and engraving, all against an intricate punched ground. It features a myriad of hunters and animals, the trees seem full of game. On the hilly horizon can be seen various dwellings and pavilions, tiny birds in the sky. The base is an arrangement of three elephant heads supporting an acanthus cup on which sits the offering bowl.

This deep bowl is stoutly potted, being rather heavy toward the base, with the wall thinning gradually to the slightly flaring rim. It rests on a tall, thick footring, with a deep base that is glazed down to the dense, white porcelain paste that is exposed with some kiln grit adhering.
