Bottle

This gourd-shaped bottle has a slender body that tapers towards the neck. Two ring handles protrude at the shoulders. The bottle is decorated in a caramel brown glaze.The royal cities of Sukhothai and Si Satchanalai in north-central Thailand were at the heart of one of the largest ceramic-producing centres in Southeast Asia during the 14th century. Si Satchanalai, which was later renamed Sawankhalok, came to refer to ceramics that originated from either of these two areas. During this period, a wide range of brown-glazed wares was produced including jars, pouring vessels and dishes. Many of these were made for export to Java, Sulawesi and the Philippines.
