Pedestal Jar

Khmer ceramics were produced in Cambodia as well as the Khorat Plateau in what is now Thailand. Most were heavily potted and given a dark brown iron glaze, although some green celadon glazed pieces from the period have been found. Khmer ceramics were largely made for domestic use, although small amounts have been found as far away as the Malay Peninsula. This baluster-shaped jar has a wide flanged mouth, tubular neck, and an ovoid body that tapers to a pedestal foot. Covered unevenly with a dark brown glaze, it is decorated with incised concentric circles and other patterns on the shoulder and the foot. Vessels of this type were probably used as vases.
