The Treasure of the Tek Sing (True Star) Shipwreck Pottery
3 Blue and White Chinese Porcelain Dishes from the shipwreck Tek Sing.
From the Great Quing Dynasty Period 1644-1911. These are believed to date from the early 1800's..
Large Peony Dish 20cm x 4cm
Med Peony Dish 16cm x 3cm
Lotus Panel Dish 18cm x 4cm
Wonderful condition given their history. Some dulling of glazed surfaces due to seawater exposure.
These three Dishes are part of the Nanking Cargo, treasure from the legendary Chinese trading junk, the Tek Sing (True Star).
She sank in the South China Seas after catching fire in 1882, in an area known as the Belvidere Shoals with a loss of 1800 lives, greater than that of the Titanic.
She was carrying the greatest cargo of porcelain ever found and salvaged.
The porcelain was used as ballast, and only survived due to it being packed so solidly under and around the main more valuable cargo of tea and silk.
Each dish carries the original auction and collection label from Nagels Auction House in Stuttgart where the cargo was finally sold 178 years later in November 2000.
Given the history of this Tek Sing Shipwreck Porcelain it is in lovely condition.The quality of the porcelain is quite remarkable considering it has been on the seabed 170+ years, only showing small signs of sea salvage.
