Chino antiguo Cerámica Cuenco glaseado Tek Sing (Sin Precio de Reserva)
A partly glazed plain grey ceramic dish from the Qing dynasty. The bowl has a wide shallow conical body and a small flat base. The interior features a large patch of glazing which has dulled due to its exposure to salt water, with the exterior glazing fully worn off, consistent with shipwreck antiquities. There is a very small inscision in the rim, as seen in the final image.
The Tek Sing (which means “True Star” in Chinese) was a large Chinese vessel which sank on 6th February 1822 in an area of the South China Sea known as the “Belvidere Shoals”. On this ship heading from Amoy to Jakarta were 1600 passengers and an enormous cargo, which included silks, spices, and 350,000 pieces of Chinese porcelain. Indeed, some of the cargo was even strapped to the ship’s hull. Its tight packing allowed it to become the largest cargo of Chinese porcelain ever to be salvaged from a wreck when its was discovered in 1999.
