The painting on this Sukothai box and cover is particularly fine, brilliant and well-preserved. A very similar box and cover, but of lesser quality, is illustrated by K. Itoi, Thai Ceramics from the Sosai Collection, Oxford, 1989, no. 10. Compare, also, a pedestal bowl, but missing its cover, with similar decoration, illustrated by D. Frasche in Southeast Asian Ceramics, Ninth Through Seventeenth Centuries, no. 44. Two other boxes and covers, both painted with a continuous band of feathery leaf design as opposed to foliate panels, are illustrated in Thai Ceramics, The James and Elaine Connell Collection, Oxford, 1993, no. 127 and in Southeast Asian Ceramics from the Collection of Margot and Hans Ries, Pacific Asia Museum, 1989, no. 82.
