Phayao introduction
The Kingdom of Phayao was flourishing by the thirteenth century, when fine stone Buddha statues were produced.
No scientific excavations have been undertaken but at least three kiln areas are known. Some beautiful wares have been preserved in local wats.
It is possible that Phayao was the original centre of high-fired glazed stoneware in Thailand in the thirteenth century.
Many brown glazed jars have been found and some are shown here although their provenance is not certain. Celadon dishes, some with stamped decoration, are definitely from Phayao kilns, but many are remarkably similar to Sankampaeng or Pa Sard, Kalong wares. |
