From a 15th century ship that sank off the coast of Vietnam, the recovery effort of the Hoi An hoard was one of the greatest underwater archaeological discoveries of all time. This lidded trinket bowl is from the Hoi An Hoard, and bears the original VISAL stickers as well as the Butterfield’s auction sticker.
One notable London dealer described ceramics from the Hoi An Hoard as "the most precious and complete representation of Vietnamese artisanship in glazed ceramics" and far more rare than their Chinese counterparts from Tek Sing.
At 65,000 US dollars a day, the final cost of this entire expedition was four million USD. That said, the historical value of this hoard was immeasurable; museums around the world have pieces in their collections, with the lion’s share being in the National History Museum of Han Oi.
This serving bowl is of exceptional size and rarity. The shape is excellently potted with excellent handfeel and a high foot rim. It displays the virtuosity of Vietnamese artisanship with an expressive looseness in executing the cobalt glaze motifs, particularly the calligraphy of the central fu mark.
Price marked at AUD$1200.
Measurements: 9.5cm dia. X 7cm high.
Fair antique condition for shipwreck porcelain with fade to glaze and light crazing, as well as chips to rim. One historical hairline crack to rim. Some overall staining and wear commensurate with age and conditions of shipwreck porcelain.
