SIAM AND THE POTTERY TRADE OF ASIA By Oharles Nel.~on 8pink8 Introduction My first introduction to Sawankalok ware, a ,type of pottery made in Siam from the middle of the 14th to perhaps the middle of the 15t.h eentnry, was both a('.cident.al and inauspicious. Shortly after the war we had the occasion to visit the nnbornbed Tokyo home of Mr. !ida Shi'iichi, President of the Keihin Electric: Railway Company, who had a large collection of old potte1•y and porcelain. After showing us some fine specimens of Snng and Ming wares and several exquisite pieces of o1c1 Kntani and Orihe, the proud collector asked if I were interested in Sonlw?·oht-ya1ci ( 5}-:. i!JHHk ). I hnd to confess I had never heard of this wat•e before. It looked like celaclon, but the glaze had more of a greyish tone than tb e typical olive green, and it lacked that smooth almost pliable feel of the Chinese pottery. Several pieces also loolted as if they had been damaged while being fired in the kiln. Nevertheless, this Sonkoroku had a quiet, simple, beauty, although many of the bowls and vessels were of unusual shapes, unlike the work of any Japanese or Chinese · potter. The decorated pieces had rather conventional floral patterns or occasionally a stylized fish, either incised under the grey-gt•een glaze or painted in brown or black against a soft yellowislJ-grey ground. One little vessel looked exact.ly like a clzoshi ( ~~ -T ), the Japanese bottle fOl' serving rice wine. On a russet base a rich, dark brown glaze had been allowed to flow la;dly down the sides f01·ming an irregular coating. All the Son korolm in the collection had that quality of studied restraint com bin eel wH.h subdued elegance which appeals so profoundly to the aesthetic instincts of the Jap:mese who describe this characteristic with the single word sl!ib'lf,i (yd~ ), having something of the meaning of our word "tasteful''. To my surprise, the owner told me that. this Sonlcoroktt-yalci was made in Siam many centuries ago.
