Description
Antique Hoi An Hord Shipwreck 15 th to 16 th century porcelain vase. From collection sold at Butterfields Auction Co. catalog in 2000. Discovered in 1993 and 1994. Beautiful colors. Great quality and detail. Condition as shown in photos. 2 7/8 inches tall. Selling three more pieces in this auction. In 1993–94, the crew of a fishing vessel off the coast of the Hoi An area of Vietnam began to find ceramics in their fishing nets when trawling in a particular spot (Bound 2000: V). The boat’s captain, Captain Trang, reportedly decided to fish exclusively for these pots after an antiques dealer in Hoi An bought his first yield ‘for a good price’ (Pope 2007: 37). Before long, other crews had noticed what was happening, and soon there were numerous fishing teams using their nets to harvest saleable pots: ‘Huge dishes, ornate dragon sculptures, and delicate vases were picked out of the nets and sold straight to the dealers
