278. A Lot of Two Items The Vung Tau Wreck (c. 1690) Two Kangxi period ceramics; lot includes a miniature "Dolls House" vase with underglaze blue decoration, apprx 2-1/8"T and a lid, apprx 1-3/4"T. The Vung Tau Wreck was discovered by fishermen off the islands of Con Dao in the south of Vietnam. The wreck has been dated to c. 1690. From an analysis of the cargo it seems that the ship was bound from China to Batavia where the bulk of the ceramics would have been transshipped to a Dutch East India Company vessel for the onward voyage to Holland. The recovered cargo consisted of over 48,000 ceramics, mostly Kangxi blue-and-white porcelain from the kilns of Jingdezhen, and an impressive collection of white-ware. There were also many pieces of provincial ware. 150/225 Sold: $120.75 |
