History: The 13th century kiln sites of the Sukhothai wares have been explored & the wares discovered. The Sukhothai kilns have been found outside the northern wall of the ancient city of Sukhothai, & the Sri Satchanalai kilns. One particular kiln in Sri Satchanalai has been excavated & is exhibited as an open air museum, a few km northwest of the Sri Satchanalai archaeologic site. Production begun in the 13th century, possibly with the decline of Khmer ceramics. During the 15th century China was faced with an important crisis, opening the opportunity for Sukhothai ceramics to conquer export markets. Sukhothai wares have been found in Indonesia, the Philippines & China among other countries. They were a very important article of trade. Collections have been found in sunken vessels around the gulf of Thailand, still in good condition after centuries under water. in the middle of the 16th century, production at Sukhothai was discontinued, possibly related to the wars between the kingdom of Ayudhaya & the Burmese, & the resurgence of Chinese ceramics.
