2) Two authentic, Thai Celadon pottery elephant mugs

These gorgeous, high-quality celadon mugs are perfect by themselves ... but made even more so by the charming elephant herd decoration.

Celadon is a term for pottery denoting both wares glazed in the jade green celadon color, also known as greenware (the term specialists now tend to use) and a type of transparent glaze, often with small cracks, that was first used on greenware, but later used on other porcelains.

Because Celadon is a man-made product wich depends upon the skills and experience of the craftsman, it is valuable. Because of it's attractiveness, Celadon is used both for home decoration and everyday use.

Thai ceramics has its own long tradition of greenware production. Medieval Thai wares were initially influenced by Chinese greenware, but went on to develop its own unique style and technique. One of the most famous kilns during the Sukhothai Kingdom were at S(r)i Satchanalai, around Si Satchanalai District and Sawankhalok District in Sukhothai Province, north-central Thailand. Production started in the 13th century CE and continued until the 16th century. The art reached its apex in the 14th century.
