Underglazed blue and white bowl featuring Buddhistic lion and brocade ball decoration. 200mm diameter x 90mm high.

By purchasing one of these beautiful bowls, you are acquiring a genuine Ming Dynasty porcelain bowl from the South China Sea wreck site of the Bình Thuận that sank in 1608.

Presented in a custom-made travel crate, each one is a unique piece of history, with many bearing the remnants of marine encrustation from centuries upon the ocean floor.

Each one also carries the lot number from Christies, the revered London-based auction house who auctioned the items in Melbourne, Australia in 2004, on behalf of the Vietnam Salvage Corporation, the Bình Thuận Peoples Committee and the Ministry of Culture.
