Unusual Near Pair of Khmer Vessels, Angkor Wat Period, 11th-12th Century

About the Item

An unusual near pair of Khmer brown glazed stoneware baluster pedestal vases, Angkor Wat Period, 11th to 12th century. The vase of baluster form, with a wide, bulging body set on a narrow pedestal foot. The neck of the vase wide and squat, rising to an everted mouth with a thick rim. The body glazed in a beautiful brown, typical of Khmer stonewares. For a very similar example, please see the one in the collection of the Mussee Guimet, Paris, accession number MA 3562. or National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne, Ascession No AS1-1980. Khmer ceramics are unique in the Asian ceramic tradition and reflect an indigenous culture free of other influences. Unlike other Southeast Asian ceramics, the Khmer products were made solely for local use and not for export. Fundamentally a peasant pottery, the wares were not used by the wealthy due to the fierce competition offered by the technically superior, imported Chinese celadons and porcelains. Many of the pieces have a sculptural presence and serenity comparable to Khmer sculpture. This vase would have been a temple fitting, used for holding lotus blossoms in Buddhist ceremonies.
