Styles range from "sharkskin" ware with a grayish, light sepia or yellowish glaze and fine granular surface to fine iron-glazed teawares in the first half of the 17th century, copies of Sawankhalok ware, a Thai ware decorated with underglazed iron-oxide painting, from ca. 1700, and overglaze enamels from the late 18th century. ]]></termNote><termCreatedDate>2026-03-30 20:57:03</termCreatedDate><relation><relationType>BT</relationType><termId>31406341</termId><termName>Japanese ceramics styles</termName><termType>PT</termType></relation><relation><relationType>RT</relationType><termId>31346380</termId><termName>Satsuma ware</termName><termType>PT</termType></relation></term>  </Zthes>
