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 rare porcelain charger 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 particular serving dish is of exceptional size and rarity. It displays the virtuosity of Vietnamese artisanship with the expressive looseness in executing the central bird motif.
Price marked at AUD$3500.
Measurements: 23.5 cm dia.
Fair antique condition for shipwreck porcelain with fade to glaze and light crazing, as well as chips to rim. Some overall staining and wear commensurate with age and conditions of shipwreck porcelain.
