"Sukhothai Stoneware Fish Dish, Si Satchanalai Kilns, 14th–15th Century, Museum-quality Piece"

Large Sukhothai stoneware fish dish – Si Satchanalai kilns, Thailand – 14th–15th century – rare museum-quality ceramic

This rare and important Thai ceramic deep dish dates to the Sukhothai period (14th–15th century) and was produced in the historic kilns of Si Satchanalai, present-day Thailand. Crafted in high-fired stoneware, the large dish features iron-oxide underglaze painting beneath a transparent, finely crackled glaze.

At the centre of the bowl are two stylised fish, a traditional Buddhist symbol representing prosperity and harmony. They are enclosed within a circular medallion, surrounded by free-flowing floral and vegetal brushwork. The reverse of the dish is decorated with concentric linework and stylised cloud elements. The unglazed base retains firing scars and stilt marks, characteristic of authentic 14th-century Thai kiln practices.

This dish stands out for its large size, which is rare among surviving examples, many of which were recovered from maritime shipwrecks such as the Royal Nanhai. Similar examples are housed in major museum collections including the Bangkok National Museum and the Musée Guimet. Sukhothai ceramics are now recognised by UNESCO for their cultural and historical significance.
