Blue and White Saucer, Qing Dynasty, Kangxi Era, Circa 1690
Located in seoul, KR
It features a complex design with a central circular motif surrounded by eight petal-like sections, each intricately adorned with various botanical and geometric patterns, creating a symmetrical arrangement. The number 8 in Chinese culture is associated with prosperity and is considered very auspicious. This may reflect the traditional Chinese cosmological concept of the "Bagua," which are eight trigrams used in Taoist philosophy to represent fundamental principles of reality, seen in various aspects of Chinese culture, including the I Ching and Feng Shui. The central circle with radiating petals is also a representation of perfect geometric harmony, reflecting the balance and unity which are key elements in Chinese aesthetics. The use of symmetry and balance is seen as a way to represent the harmony of the universe. Period : Qing Dynasty, Kangxi Period Production Date : 1690-1699 Made in : Jingdezhen Destination : Netherland Found/Acquired : Southeast Asia , South China Sea, Vung Tau ship Size : 12.5cm (Diameter) Condition : Excellent Reference : Double checked with reference to the original catalogues 1) Christies Amsterdam 1992 - Vung Tau Cargo / Christies 2) Qing Dynasty Export Blue and White(淸代外销靑花瓷) - Vung Tau Cargo Catalogue / Guangxi Fine Art Publishing House 3) Asian Ceramic Found along Maritime Silk Route / National Maritime Museum of Korea * Vung Tau Cargo Porcelain...

15th Century Majapahit Terracotta Handmaiden Figure (Woman Holding Her Hair)
Located in Bagnolo Mella, Brescia
The sculpture captures a moment of serene grace, as the woman delicately holds her hair with her right hand, exuding an air of elegance rarely found in similar works. What makes this piece particularly unique is its unusual coloration: unlike most terracotta figures, which typically exhibit reddish-brown tones, this figure has darkened over time to a striking grey-black-brown hue. This transformation occurred due to centuries of submersion in the mud of the Brantas River, where the natural elements enriched the statue with its distinct coloration (refer to the photos of discoveries during the extraction of other statues, as seen on pages 16-17 of the catalog). Originating from the Trowulan region in East Java, this handmaiden figure is documented on page 161 as figure number 28 in the Majapahit catalog and stands as a rare example of terracotta craftsmanship from this ancient civilization. The piece has been carefully studied and authenticated by Professor Agus Aris Munandar, a distinguished scholar in Indonesian archaeology. Professor Munandar, born in 1959, is currently the professor of Indonesian Archaeology at the University of Indonesia in Jakarta. His extensive research focuses on Hindu-Buddhist archaeology, iconography, and the ancient history of Indonesia and Southeast Asia. He served as a member of the Indonesian team of experts at National Cultural Heritage from 2015 to 2018 and previously held the role of Head of Institute and Research at the Faculty of Humanities at the University of Indonesia. Now the head of the Department of Archaeology at the University of Indonesia, Professor Munandar has authored numerous articles and 19 books, many of which delve into Majapahit culture and artifacts, solidifying his reputation as a leading scholar in the field. This extraordinary figure is accompanied by a preface from Professor Massimo Vidale of the University of Padua, who offers invaluable insights into the significance of Majapahit terracotta...

Rare Annamese Stoneware with underglaze Blue and Painted Green, 15-16th Century
Located in seoul, KR
A bird on a tree. Stoneware with underglaze blue and painted green. The leaves were creatively expressed with green-glaze. The use of green overpainting, a distinctive element in Annamese ceramics, parallels similar examples documented in The Age of Discovery: Asian Ceramics Found Along the Maritime Silk Road, particularly on pages 59, 64, and 66 of the Annamese ship catalog. Such pieces were widely traded along the Maritime Silk Road, showcasing the rich cultural exchange between Vietnam and other regions. Dates : 15th century Le Dynasty Region : North Annam, Vietnam Type : Dish Found/Acquired : Southeast Asia , South China Sea, Hoi An Ship Reference : Double checked with reference to the original catalogue 1) Butterfield Treasures Hoi An Hoard Auction Catalogs / San Francisco Butterfields 2000 2) Asian Ceramic Found along Maritime Silk Route / National Maritime Museum of Korea * Vietnamese trade ceramics Around the mid-14th century, Vietnam developed its ceramics production technology by producing blue and white porcelain, and began to export it overseas. During this period, China Ming Dynasty implemented a policy of lifting the ban from 1371 to 1657 and restricted foreign trade. This served as a good opportunity in the trade history of Vietnamese ceramics, and ceramic exports...

An Annamese stoneware with cobalt blue, Hoi An Hoard, Late 15th century
Located in seoul, KR
At the center of the vase, a bird is depicted with clean yet detailed lines, capturing the moment mid-flight with a sense of dynamic energy. The artist skillfully conveys the bird’s vitality with minimal strokes, creating the impression that it could soar into the sky at any moment. Though there are no explicit branches or leaves, the flowing curves of the background subtly connect the bird with the natural world. The simplicity of the lines creates a harmonious relationship between the bird and its environment, reflecting the artist’s ability to evoke nature without relying on intricate details. The neck of the vase is adorned with elegant plant motifs, where stems and leaves stretch upward, complementing the overall shape of the vase. These motifs, while simple, add sophistication and enhance the vase’s graceful form. At the base, repeating geometric patterns contribute to the sense of balance and stability. These patterns not only ground the piece but also serve as decorative elements, completing the vase’s aesthetic unity. Dates : 15th century Le Dynasty Region : North Annam, Vietnam Type : Yuhuchun Vase Found/Acquired : Southeast Asia , South China Sea, Hoi An Ship Reference : 1) Seattle Art Museum - Gift of Mary and Cheney Cowles, 2000.125. 2) Butterfield Treasures Hoi An Hoard Auction Catalogs / San Francisco Butterfields 2000 3) Asian art museum, San Francisco * Vietnamese trade ceramic...

Annamese stoneware with underglaze blue, Hoi An hoard, late 15th century
Located in seoul, KR
At the center, within a shield-shaped frame, a delicate plant motif with slender stems and leaves is depicted, symbolizing the vitality of nature through simple lines. The shield-shaped frame harmonizes with the vase's curves, emphasizing the plant design. The neck features elongated leaf patterns, while soft cloud motifs are gracefully arranged along the body, following the vase’s natural flow. At the base, repetitive geometric patterns provide a sense of stability. This vase beautifully captures classical and serene beauty through the balance of natural harmony and meticulous craftsmanship.
