Good condition overall.; One of the most intriguing of South-East Asian vessels is the kendi, a pot with two openings and no handle. The story of the kendi is closely interwoven with the history of South-East Asia, kendi of pottery and porcelain having been recovered in sites dispersed over a vast area of Island South-East Asia. While comparison of existing vessels indicates some were of native manufacture, being fashioned of porous clay, the majority are non-porous glazed kendi of foreign origin. They formed part of the extensive trade in ceramics that flowed into the region from China, Japan, Thailand, and Vietnam and which were specially manufactured for export for both household and ceremonial purposes. The kendi in the Muzium Seni Asia, University of Malaya, form the world's largest public collection of kendi. Collectively spanning a period of over 1,000 years, and representing a number of Asian countries, they reflect differences in potting techniques, material, and decoration and show how an ancient form has survived to the present. They thus provide important clues to the patterns of trade and culture as well as the practices and customs that prevailed in the region at different periods.
