Jarlet
A dark brown miniature jar with a flambé glaze and an unglazed bottom.
The former town of Sawankhalok in northern and central Thailand saw an extraordinary development of ceramics from the 14th to the mid-16th century. This was partly due to the sudden ban on the export of Chinese ceramics during the Ming dynasty in 1371. It was at this time that Vietnamese and Thai ceramics took the place of Chinese ceramics in Southeast Asian markets.
Typical examples of the type are celadon glazed ceramics, learned from Chinese masters, but other types of mazes also existed.
The pieces found today have been found partly in field excavations and partly as cargo from sunken shipwrecks.
