A related, less elaborate storage jar glazed entirely in a thin, olive-toned glazed, with the exception of two brown snail-like bosses at the shoulders, from the collection of Mr. and Mrs. John D. Rockefeller 3rd, was included in the exhibition, Southeast Asian Ceramics, Ninth Through Seventeenth Centuries, The Asia Society, illustrated frontispiece, no. 48. Almost entirely plain, this example is decorated with two bands of incised zigzag lines at the shoulder. The catalogue entry states that the jar was excavated at Kamphaeng, Phet, Thailand in 1961 and contained several hundred small, cast-metal figures of Buddha.
