About the Item
A rare ancient ceramic plate originating from the Kalong kilns of northern Thailand, dating to the 15th–16th century (Lan Na period). This piece features a distinctive iron-brown glaze with radiating floral or foliate motifs, a signature of the Kalong ceramic tradition. The symmetrical decoration was likely etched through a slip layer before glazing, revealing the underlying clay and creating a striking graphic effect.Ceramics were produced in some number in the kingdom of Lan Na centered in northern Thailand. More than 200 kilns have been found in the vicinity of Kalong to the east of the Mae Lo River, situated halfway between Chiang Rai and Chiang Mai. Clay in the area is characterized by a high percentage of kaolin producing thinly potted, elegant off-white or buff bodies. Kalong wares are characterized by their freely painted underglaze designs in iron brown. These are often floral or other images drawn from the natural world. The lively decoration on this dish is sometimes termed "black crow," in reference to its abstract resemblance to birds in flight. The Kalong kilns also produced a limited number of pieces with green or celadon glazes.
Today, Kalong ceramics are among the rarest and most coveted of ancient Thai ceramics due to the limited production and exceptional artistry.

* Vietnamese trade ceramics
Around the mid-14th century, Vietnam developed its ceramics production technology by producing blue and white porcelain, and began to export it overseas. During this period, China Ming Dynasty implemented a policy of lifting the ban from 1371 to 1657 and restricted foreign trade. This served as a good opportunity in the trade history of Vietnamese ceramics, and ceramic exports...
