A 14th - 16th Century ceramic bull figure from Lampang kiln in Siam, now Thailand, survived.

 This small figure of a ceramic Nandi, the Brahma bull, was made between the 

14th and 16th century in Siam, now Thailand, at a Lampang kiln.

This type of pottery is often refered to as Sawankhalok or Si Satchanalai.

Lampang pottery is a specific type:

The brick kilns were often placed in or near a rice field and could be that big that a man could stand upright inside.

It is not known what the small humped bull statues were used for.

Several years ago it came into our collection of ancient Sawankhalok pottery, that we loved because they had survived time and travels.

Some examples of the Delta 98 Den Haag collection

Recently a Belgium collecter bought the bull and we shipped it by PostNL. 

This is how the package arrived after it's latest travel:

Miraculously the little figure survived this journey also...

2x an antique ceramic Japanese tea caddy, Chaire, sold by Delta 98 Den Haag

 A happy story:

about 15 years ago we bought these two tea caddies, 

but one day the lids got lost in our storage,

we have been looking out for them with every box we opened for an other purpose, there was always the hope to find them. 

One day we needed a Chinese or Japanese wooden stand for a small pot, 

we got the box with our collection of those, 

we found a small brown paper bag .....

Our patience has been rewarded

Edo period ceramic tea caddy, known as Chaire,

made in Japan, probably 17th and 18th Century,

with original ivory lid, one with gold leaf inside
