Description: Photographs and a short synopsis of Khmer Empire ceramic art from Asia Art.
The ceramics of the Khmer empire are believed to have started being produced in the 9th Century. The ceramcis are of extremely good quality and were produced in high volumes during the 11th and 12th centuries, especially around the kilns at Mout Kulen near Angkor. There were also many provincial kilns within the borders of present day Thailand. The main centers of production were at Baranae and Ban Kruat in Buriram province, and at Pimai in Northeastern Thailand. Unfortunately, because of the destruction of central government control and increasingly chaotic conditions, production of Khmer ceramics ceased by the end of 13th Century.
