Notes on the ancient pottery kilns at Sawankalok, Siam
A 1904 journal plate from the Journal of the Anthropological Institute by T. H. Lyle, recording ancient pottery kilns at Sawankalok in Siam for an anthropological readership. The page shows photographs of fired clay vessels: a tall jar with a banded neck, small lidded pots, and figurine-like fragments with stamped surfaces, numbered as Figs. 1 to 3. A designer might take its sepia monochrome photographic record of earthenware forms, with their worn glazes and incised decoration, as reference for ceramic shapes and natural clay textures.
