| Description | A large, fired clay drinking water vessel known as Hai Nam Kin (ไหน้ำกิน). It's design is unusual but it is made in the traditional style. The village it comes from was established around 1958 by settlers from Khorat (โคราช) present day Nakhon Rachasima Province. The jar is squat, with a thick rim and an encircling design near the rim of connected squares with a diamond design inside. There are black marks from an outdoor firing process (no soot is present). Other villages make similar pots called Tum Nam Kin (ตุ่มน้ำกิน), Monam Kin (หม้อน้ำกิน), and Aengnam Kin (แอ่งน้ำกิน). |
