Description : These are pieces of stoneware which were once used for trading before 1819. They were commonly used as containers to store liquid mercury. People used mercury as an ingredient in medicine, and for making gold. These items were then exchanged for goods with many different groups of traders. Therefore, I can infer that there was an economic connection between Singapore and other countries.
