Period : Late Tang Dynasty Production Date : Circa 830 Made in : Hunan province Found/Acquired : Indonesia, Belitung Island Reference : 1) Smithsonian National Museum of Asian Art 'Tang Dynasty Changsha Ceramic' by Liu Yang 2) Christies Hongkong 4 OCT 2016 - The Pavilion Sale - Chinese Ceramics and Works of Art - Lot 90 (Price realised : HKD 75,000 / Type : Closely related) 3) Christies Hongkong 23 MAY – 6 JUN 2023 - Pavilion Online – Chinese Art - Lot 3208 (Price range : HKD 80,000 - HKD 120,000 / Type : Closely related) * The Belitung Shipwreck Changsha Ware The Belitung wreck held three main types of Chinese "wares" in the form of bowls: Changsha ware (produced in kilns in Tongguan), the majority of the items, were originally packed in either straw cylinders or "Dusun" storage jars; White-ware, manufactured in the Ding kilns and including the earliest known intact underglaze blue and white dishes; and Yue ware from Zhejiang Province. The wreck has given archaeologists two major discoveries: the biggest single collection of Tang dynasty artefacts found in one location outside of China, the so-called "Tang Treasure"; and the Arabian dhow, which gives a new insight into the trade routes between China and the Middle East during that period.
