    From a collection acquired on the UK art market from various auction houses and collections mostly before 2000. From an important Cambridgeshire estate; thence by descent.

    In Ban Chiang pottery the most common body shape is an ellipsoid form with a rounded bottom covered by a low outflaring pedestal base. The neck variations include a low straight-sided neck and a higher outflaring neck. Body-pedestal juncture and body-neck juncture may be either angular or curved. The same neck variations occur on a globular body, in addition to a composite concave-convex neck form not occurring on the ellipsoid bodies. Again, all examples have low outflaring pedestal bases.
