This collection of porcelain comes from the Hoi An shipwreck, sank in the late 15th-early 16th century (approximately A.D 1490).
Produced in the middle 15th century, these ceramics comes from the Hai Duong province (North Vietnam), which was known as the biggest production centre of ceramics and porcelain from medieval Vietnam. At that time, the Ming dynasty in China decreed a ban on maritime exports to Southeast Asia and other countries, leaving the opportunity for Vietnam to foster its ceramics and porcelain production.
Little is known about the vessel that sank, including her name, so the discovered hoard was named after the nearby town of Faifo, today known as Hoi An.
Fishermen from the area discovered the wreck in the early 90s, snaring finds of blue and white pottery within their fishing nets. Taking them to the nearby town. soon prompted further exploration of the waters. The government, realising the importance of the cargo, soon became involved and ordered underwater excavations, which took place from 1997-1999. Excavation of the area uncovered the trading vessel shipwreck, located in some of Vietnam?s most hazardous seas.
The shipwreck was in fact located in the middle of a typhoon zone known as the Dragon Sea. Inside, more than 150,000 objects were found.
Ceramics from the Hoi An Hoard are considered to be known as the most precious and complete representation of Vietnamese artisanship in glazed ceramics. They are far rarer than their Chinese counterparts, from Tek Sing.

what you see is what you get, no refunds or returns unless the item you receive is not the item in the auction photos. My descriptions are my best attempt to say what I think the item is, I am not an expert and the written words should only be used as a guideline... what you are buying is what you see in the photos, any word descriptions are done in good faith to the best of my opinion but are not guaranteed, you are buying what is in the photos not the words. Shipping from Canada to other countries costs more than domestic USA postal rates because I am shipping from an other country. I am shipping from Canada so it will take longer to get to other countries like the USA than your own domestic shipping because of the time it takes for items to cross the border and for customs clearances, so please be patient. Items shipped outside of Canada may be subject to your country's customs fees, taxes, laws and regulations... all these including item legality and any other additional fees are the buyers responsibility. Yes I combine shipping on multiple items to save you shipping costs. If you have any questions feel free to send me a message.
