Lotus Pattern Dish From Ca Mau Ship Circa 1725, Qing Dynasty, Yongzheng Reign
About the Item
This lotus dish from Ca Mau Ship was held in our gallery in three pieces(according to sizes). One was sold in 2024.
With radiating lotus-petal 8 panels painted with single flowers among tightly-scrolling tendrils within a border of foliage.
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.
Lotus symbolize purity and enlightenment, as the lotus flower is known to grow in muddy water and yet remain unsoiled. In Buddhism, which has been influential in Chinese culture, the lotus is often associated with the pure and transcendent nature of Buddha's teachings.

* The Ca Mau Cargo
The Ca Mau Cargo refers to a Chinese cargo sunken sometime between 1723 and 1735 off the coast of Vietnam’s farthest point in the South China Sea, discovered by Vietnamese fishermen in 1998. It is believed the ship was a Chinese merchant’s cargo on its way from Canton (Guangzhou) to Batavia when it caught fire and sank. The merchant had ordered the goods on board for Dutch traders, who had limited access to China and its ports.
* Porcelain for the European Market
The Ca Mau Cargo consisted of numerous types of porcelain, chinaware and blue and white wares, all designed for the European market. Blue and white ceramics recovered from the cargo appear decorated with the so-called ‘Scheveningen landscape’, also known as ‘Deshima décor’. This motif usually depicted a traditional Dutch fishing village, executed in Chinese style. Chinese wares with Western motives were extremely popular and made to order and were known as ‘China de commande’.
