Abstract During the 14th to 20th centuries, the glazed and unglazed ceramic productions were rapidly grown up in Southeast Asia and other parts of the world, such as China, Japan and Europe. The ceramics had become one of the most important products associated with other products for exchange across the region by maritime trade routes. The shoreline of Thailand meets the Gulf of Thailand connected to the South China Sea in the east and the Andaman Sea as a part of the Indian Ocean in the west, which is marked as a famous destination for international ships at the time. The ceramics from several origins, such as from the kilns in China, Thailand [Sukhothai, Si Satchanalai, Bang Rachan (Mae Nam Noi or Singburi), Bang Pun], Vietnam, Burma, Japan, and Europe, are usu- ally found in the residential areas and Buddhist temples around the coastal area in eastern, central, and southern Thailand and even the shipwrecks in the Gulf of Thailand and Andaman Sea.
