Cumulative facts and circumstances

It is an exceptional example of Vietnamese export ware, distributed in Southeast Asia. It was collected between 1966-1970, when Mr. Baars was stationed in Indonesia as a geophysicist with Royal Dutch Shell. In 1970, he returned to the Netherlands along with his collection of Southeast Asian ceramics. This object also demonstrates the importance of this medium and form in the Vietnamese culture, particularly when held in dialogue with similar objects from other dynasties and/or cultures.
