About the Item

Antique Thai Frog Shaped Kendi, Sawankhalok Kilns, Si Satchanalai. A squat globular stoneware body of good size having a narrow upright neck and everted mouth. The short narrow spout has the shape of an imagined frog snout. The modeled details include bulging eyes, ridge lines demarcating the spine, outline of the trunk and the legs with small webbed feet. The pot is glazed overall in a rich brown glaze lightly pitted from burial which stops short of the well trimmed foot rim revealing the beige colored biscuit. Condition: Excellent with no knowledge or evidence of any restorations. Age: 13th/14th century. Size: 5.5 inches high x 5.5 inches in diameter (14 x 14cm). Weight: 1 lb. 10.5 oz. (753g.) Provenance: U.S.A. art market For similar examples see: Museum of Anthropological Archaeology, University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, Bekker Collection UMAA 2007-8-56. Charles Nelson Spinks, Siamese Pottery in Indonesia, fig. 42. Charles Nelson Spinks, The Ceramic Wares of Siam, Ladejinsky collection, pl.36. Roxanna Brown, Legend and Reality, Early Ceramics from South-East Asia, pl.180. Note: Sawankhalok zoomorphic kendis have mostly been found  in the 20th century within the Indonesian archipelago. This may indicate that the shape, such as this frog pot would have been originally crafted as a trade ceramic destined for the islands.
