Hoi An Hoard Circular Jar / Vase, Circa 1480

Hoi An Hoard Circular Jar / Vase, Circa 1480. An Annamese circuar jar or vase. Salvaged from the Hoi An shipwreck, which sank in circa 1480.

Originally decorated with over-glaze enamels which have now largely worn away following the long immersion in sea water. There is a small chip to the footring but generally in very good condition. Please see all photos for confirmation. The Thai vessel carrying the cargo sank in the 15. Century near the port of Hoi An. In the early 1990s, fishermen trawling for squid and red snapper stumbled upon the wreck. The Hoi An shipwreck is a very important record of Vietnamese types of b. Lue and white and enamelled wares found during the 2nd half of 15th century. It displays a richness of form and decoration previously unknown to ceramics experts on Vietnamese wares. The cargo included dishes, pouring vessels, bottles, jars, cups, bowls, figural ceramics, and covered boxes. This item is in the category "Antiques\Asian/Oriental Antiques\Chinese\Porcelain".
