The majority of pieces in both these groups belong to either the 14th or 15th centuries. The earliest wares on display, on the other hand are undoubtedly those here called 'Khmer', which date from the 10th to the 13th centuries, and which were made either in Cambodia or in Thai territory under Cambodian control. The latest are wares from the northern Thai kilns at Sankampaeng and Kalong dating from the 15th to the 16th centuries." excerpt from the introduction. Good/No Jacket.
