Located in Dan Kwian, Chok Chai Subdistrict, this village has a rich history dating back to the Ayutthaya period. Situated on a key trade route between Korat and Cambodia, the people of Dan Kwian originally engaged in farming and cultivation along the Mun River. Over time, they learned pottery-making from the Kha people (indigenous inhabitants of the Mekong River basin), initially creating household utensils before progressing to home decor and garden ornaments. Eventually, these products evolved into export goods. Dan Kwian clay is distinct for its reddish-black colour, known as the “Samrit colour ” , achieved through specific firing techniques. However, Dan Kwian pottery has become increasingly rare due to changing preferences among the younger generation and diminishing natural resources. As a result, white clay products are now more commonly seen in the market.
