Description
Southeast Asia, Thailand, Sawankhalok or Sawankalok (Si Satchanalai), ca. 15th century CE. An impressive pottery wine vessel presenting a globular body sitting upon a ring form foot as an elegant zoomorphic handle loops over its brief neck and narrow, circular rim. Enveloped in a lovely hue of celadon, the graceful vessel is adorned by intricate decoration of forest green glaze featuring 3 concentric rings surrounding the rim, 3 more around the base, and a pair of decorative ovoid motifs filled with swirling phytomorphic designs on the body. The handle presents a pointed tail and one base and a zoomorphic head at the other, as well as 4 tubular limbs and a high, striped crest along its back. Slightly raised, the fascinating creature displays annular eyes beneath arched brows, a triangular spike between the eyes, and an open mouth that dually functions as a spout. A lovely hemispherical lid with a central, knob-form handle caps this wonderful example. Size: 6.75" in diameter x 6.75" H (17.1 cm x 17.1 cm)
