[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 246273, member: 2844"]A Sukhothai or even Sawankhalok ghendi always has an open spout. Even the most beautiful examples were functional. There are other telltale signs: - Sukhothai celadon is usually very bluish, sometimes green, this one has a brownish tinge. - The base on Sukhothai pottery is never glazed, on this ghendi it is. - Sukhothai glaze does not end in a nicely defined edge on the footrim, this one has a perfect edge. Sukhothai celadon, colour and bases: [IMG]http://koh-antique.com/thaiceramics/IMG_0883.JPG[/IMG] [IMG]http://koh-antique.com/thaiceramics/IMG_0893.JPG[/IMG] Thailand has been a tourist destination for over a century, and Thai themselves also like a nice vase in traditional style. This piece is purely decorative and, though inspired by tradition and history, was not made in the Sukhothai period.[/QUOTE]
