Northern Thailand, Kalong kilns
Not on view
The distinctive glazed ceramics produced at Kalong, in Chiang Rai Province, northern Thailand represent a regional tradition that emerged in the 15th century to service the kingdom of Lanna. Clay sources in the vicinity of the Mae Lo River that passes through Chiang Rai and Chiang Mai Provinces determined the location of the kilns. Most examples have been recovered either at the cluster of kilns or in the vicinity of the Lanna citadel at Wiang Kalong. They have also been recorded, in considerable quantities, as grave goods in hill community burial sites in Tak Province.
