Found in the Philippines.
Green-glazed stonewares from Zhejiang province were widely exported to the Philippines, Indonesia and mainland south-east Asia. Local potters emulated the Chinese wares, and by the 14th century, Thailand and Vietnam had developed successful ‘celadon’ industries of their own. After the 15th century, green and brown-glazed wares from the Sukhothai kilns in the lower north of Thailand acquired a prominent place in the export markets of south-east Asia.
This ewer produced at the Sukhothai kilns is in the shape of the sacred goose hamsa, a symbol of purity and divine knowledge for Hindu and Buddhist believers.
Measurements: height 8”inches or (20.5cm).
Condition: One chip on its rim, partial
