A sturdily potted wheel thrown stoneware bowl with everted rim and flattened lip. The deep cavetto has an upper decorative band of combed broken comma pattern enclosed above and below by two incised circular bands. The center medallion is composed of an incised spiral. All covered in a good transparent sea foam green celadon glaze having a medium crackle and some pleasing pooling, stopping short of the raised foot rim revealing a tan biscuit and a circular pontil scar on the countersunk base.

A shallow ceramic bowl from Sukhothai period. The dish was hand moulded with a coarse greenish clay. The piece has a primitive flavour with its minimalistic design and appears surprisingly modern.
