Description
Middle Period, 900-300 B.C. Red-on-buff chalice with everted rim, globular body and trumpet-shaped base; surface decorated with concentric ovoids, arches and spiral motifs. See, Labbe, A., Prehistoric Thai Ceramics: Ban Chiang in Regional Cultural Perspective, Bangkok, 2002, p.50, no.74, pl.74, for type. 1 kg, 18.5 cm (7 1/4 in.).

From a collection acquired on the UK art market from various auction houses and collections mostly before 2000. From an important Cambridgeshire estate; thence by descent.

Ban Chiang, on Thailand’s Khorat Plateau, offers interesting archaeological remains dating from the 4th millennium B.C. onwards. The inventory is dominated by ceramic assemblages characterised by highly aesthetic forms and decorations. They show surface colour variations in pottery, particularly in black, white and red hues.
