About the Item

Miniature 17th century blue and white vase with a flared rim and three bands of decoration This miniature vase was part of a hoard recovered by Captain Michael Hatcher from the wreck of a ship that sunk in the South China sea in approximately 1643. Approximately 25,000 pieces from that shipment were sold at auction at Christies Amsterdam in 1984, which we attended. Most of these pieces were tableware in the Dutch taste, known as "Kraak" porcelain, but we decided to focus on the Transitional ware pieces, which reflected more purely Chinese taste and to select the most rare and unique porcelain. The Transitional period, which took place between the Ming and Qing dynasties, and which ran from the beginning of the 17th century until approximately 1660, marked a shift in Chinese ceramic styles as the pieces became more original, poetic, and more freely drawn than those made in the official kilns. This little vase has three distinct bands of decoration, with flower garlands on the base, a graphic band above it, which itself is topped with a leaf motif. It is a remarkable amount of detail for such a small object. This vase is in excellent condition, without any visible chips or cracks.
