正宗的17世纪中国汕头蓝白瓷船难出土盘——明末 - 瓷 - 中国 - Ming Dynasty (1368-1644)

presenting a distinguished example of Chinese Swatow (Zhangzhou) export porcelain, dating to the late Ming Dynasty (early 17th century).

This remarkable piece was recovered from an unidentified shipwreck, serving as a time capsule of the global maritime trade between China, Southeast Asia, and Europe.

Central Motif: Features a spirited, hand-painted figure—likely a scholar or symbolic immortal—set within a dynamic landscape and encircled by aquatic motifs, including stylized fish and flora.

The Border: The broad rim is decorated with a rhythmic, repeating pattern of floral sprigs and the classic "fish-scale" or wave motif, a hallmark of Zhangzhou kiln production.

Brushwork: The decoration is executed in a deep cobalt blue underglaze with the spontaneous, free-flowing brushwork that gives Swatow ware its unique energy and folk-art charm.

Textural Details: The plate possesses a robust, coarse body characteristic of authentic Swatow ware. The unglazed base retains original kiln grit and a sandy texture, a definitive sign of 17th-century Zhangzhou firing techniques.

Shipwreck Character: As a salvaged artifact, the plate shows signs of its over 300-year marine immersion, including a softened glaze and minor surface character that only adds to its historical integrity and provenance.

Origin: Zhangzhou Kilns, Fujian Province, China.
Period: Late Ming
Dynasty (c. 1600–1644).
Diameter: 17 cm.
Weight: 240.7 g.

Shipwreck porcelain from this era is increasingly sought after. This plate is not only a beautiful decorative object but a tangible piece of maritime history, making it a "must-have" for any serious collection of Asian Art or shipwreck antiquities.
