Historically used for pouring libations in Buddhist ceremonies, ceramic and bronze kendi are still used as drinking vessels in Indonesia today. Vessels of this type were produced in both China and Southeast Asia, primarily for export to Indonesia and the Philippines and come in many forms. Kendi are generally distinguished by their spherical bodies and a neck that serves both as a handle and as a means to fill the vessel. The dusty green glaze here reflects the popularity of greenwares throughout the trade network that connected China and Southeast Asia.
