LARGE HOI AN CARGO SHIPWRECK GLAZED BLUE AND WHITE PLATE
15TH CENTURY A.D.
9 5/8 in. (648 grams, 24.5 cm).

A wide platter with stepped rim, painted tendrils and floral motifs to the inner face and large petals radiating from the foot on the outer face. [No Reserve]

PROVENANCE:
Ex Butterfield and Butterfield auction with official Hoi An Hoard labels.

Accompanied by an illustrated information sheet about the Hoi An shipwreck.

FOOTNOTES:
In the mid 15th century a freighting junk loaded with fine Vietnamese pottery sank in an area of the South China Sea called the 'Dragon’s Embrace.' This vessel is part of the shipwreck cargo recovered off the coast of Vietnam at Hoi An. The ceramics themselves were probably made in the area of Chu Dau.
