Nanking Chinese Shipwreck Cargo Rare Blue White and Enamel Boatman Plate c1750
Nanking Chinese Shipwreck Porcelain Cargo Rare Blue White and Enamel Boatman Plate c1750. Hand painted in cobalt blue with a fisherman punting his boat in a wide river landscape. A two story pavilion can be seen beside pine and tall rockwork near a bank within a band of spearheads at the well, the border depicts a band of trellis pattern. Size: 22.8cm in diameter During the manufacturing process, the enamel detailing was applied on top on the already glazed porcelain, thus providing no protection from the ravages of the sea and coral sands. It is remarkable to see that so much of the original enamel detailing has survived. When tilted in the light you will notice the original detailing that has faded away at a glance, actually remains present in what I call a ghost form. Shipwreck items can be cross checked with the original sale catalogues. Catalogue not included in this sale. This catalogue is not available for sale. The Nanking Cargo Shipwreck Story c1750 The Nanking cargo is the most famous of the shipwreck cargoes. It attracted world wide media attention when it was auctioned by Christies Amsterdam in April 1986. The VerenigdeOostIndische Compagnie V. She set sail from Canton on December 18th 1751 bound for Amsterdam. The valuable cargo consisted of over 160,000 pieces of porcelain, tea, raw silk, textiles and one hundred and forty five gold ingots. On January 3rd 1752, after 16 days sailing the Geldermalsen hit a reef and sank in the South China Sea. I spent four days viewing the porcelain in order to select the nicer pieces.

Nanking Chinese Shipwreck Cargo Rare Private Cargo Porcelain Plate c1750
This beautiful plate depicts pavilions on a rocky riverscape surrounded by a decorative border and three peony sprays to the outer rim. What makes this plate quite remarkable and rare is that there are a few interesting points: There is still a large amount of the pattern present including some gold colour Most enamelled pieces lose large amounts of their detailing through exposure to the sea and coral sands, this is because the enamel was applied on top of the glaze during manufacture This plate was from the personal collection of Dorrian Ball who discovered the Diana Shipwreck Cargo c1816, it was a gift to him from Captain Michael Hatcher for his part in the recovery of the Nanking Shipwreck Cargo. An opportunity to acquire a piece from the Private Cargo, a piece worthy of any fine Chinese shipwreck porcelain collection Condition: No chips, cracks or hairlines. Size: 23cm in diameter If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact. The Nanking Cargo Shipwreck Story c1750 The Nanking cargo is the most famous of the shipwreck cargoes.

Nanking Cargo c1750 RARE Blue and Enamel Spittoon Chinese Shipwreck
Nanking Cargo c1750 RARE Blue and Enamel Spittoon Chinese Shipwreck Delicately hand painted with tree peony issuing from rockwork. This design is painted on a globular body and bears a band of petals around its conical neck. The interior rim depicts a trellis band border. Would have once been decorated with enamel detailing. During its manufacture, the cobalt blue was applied beneath the glaze. The enamel detailing was applied on top on the glaze which gave it minimal protection beneath the sea. Over the hundreds of years spent submerged, the enamel has slowly disappeared, remaining in a somewhat ghost form when tilted in the light. This spittoon is one of the more rarer pieces from the Nanking shipwreck, only 68 were auctioned at Christies. Size: Height: 8.2cm Diameter: 12.4cm Condition: Restoration at the rim 5.4cm x 0.6cm.

Nanking Chinese Shipwreck Cargo c1750 Rare Imari Blue Pine Tea Bowl and Saucer
Nanking Chinese Shipwreck Porcelain Cargo Rare Imari Blue Pine Tea Bowl and Saucer Dish c1750 Hand painted to the centre with a large leafy pine tree rising from a small cluster of bamboo on a terrace. The design is surrounded by a roundel with bands of scrolls and trellis. This set has remarkably retained a large amount of enamel detailing. During the manufacture, the enamels were applied on top of the glaze so pieces such as these had no protection beneath the sea. Many enamelled examples show signs of oxidisation as a result, and areas where the enamels have eroded away remain in a ghostly form. This beautiful set is accompanied by a fascinating history and provenance. Condition: Chips to the foot rim of the saucer dish, and two rim frits to the saucer rim. The tea bowl bears two faint hairlines approx 2.8cm and 1.7cm and a professional small restoration to the rim which can be seen in the images. Size: Tea Bowl H4cm Diameter 7.4cm Saucer Dish: Diameter 11.4cm Provenance: The Imari blue pine tea bowl and saucers can be found in the Christies Amsterdam sale catalogue of May 1986. I attended this sale and will supply scans of the relevant pages relating to this tea bowl and saucer along with the sale from my catalogue. Please Note: The coral is not available for sale, this is for photo display purposes only. The Nanking cargo is the most famous of the shipwreck cargoes.

Rare Nanking Cargo Enamel White Saucer Dish c1750. The value of these lies in the amount of coloured enamelling and detail that is left. In most cases the coral sands washed away the pattern over the centuries spent beneath the sea. This example must have been packed so tightly in the tea chests that the water did not get to it. The delicate colours of the flowers are in remarkable condition, the black was another colour which has oxidized over time. The examples where the pattern has completely disappeared have a ghostly image that remains and is only seen when lilted in true light. This is one of a handful that were recovered in this condition. This piece comes from a sale of Nanking cargo pieces and other items that were recovered by Captain Michael Hatcher. The sale was held in Geneva by Habsburg Feldman in November 1987. These pieces were accumulated by members of the crew who it appears had the pick of some of the rarest and finest pieces. Size: 13.2cm in diameter.
