This ceramic bowl was produced at the Sawankhalok kilns in Thailand during the 14th-15th century, during the Sukhothai and early Ayutthaya periods. These kilns were major production centers for high-quality ceramics that were widely exported throughout Southeast Asia, with many pieces recovered from shipwrecks discovered in the region.

Sawankhalok fish-decorated bowls are highly valued by collectors of Asian ceramics and maritime trade artifacts. The fish motif was a popular decorative element in Thai ceramics of this period, symbolizing abundance and prosperity. These pieces are particularly sought after for their historical significance as evidence of the extensive maritime trade networks that connected Thailand with China, Japan, and other parts of Southeast Asia.

The bowl is 10.5" wide in diameter and is irregular in form. The bowl is solid and weighs 2lbs 8oz,
