Chinois ancien Porcelaine Bol glacé Tek Sing avec scène de paysage bleu (Sans Prix de Réserve)
A finely glazed white ceramic bowl from the Qing Dynasty, featuring a landscape scene rendered through delicate brushes of blue paint. The inside of the vessel remains undecorated. Some of the glaze has dulled due to its exposure to salt water. The bowl has minor deposits and encrustations to the surface, and a minor chip to the rim.
The Tek Sing (which means “True Star” in Chinese) was a large Chinese junk, which sank on 6th February 1822 in an area of the South China Sea, known as the “Belvidere Shoals”. Undertaking its attempted journey from Amoy to Jakarta were 1600 emigrants 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, but its tight packing allowed it to become the largest cargo of Chinese porcelain ever to be salvaged from a wreck.
Measurements: D 14.4cm; H 6cm
Provenance: From the 1822 Tek Sing shipwreck recovered by Michael Hatcher in 1999.
