About the Item

17th century Chinese porcelain blue and white cosmetics box from the Hatcher Collection decorated with a phoenix. The phoenix is painted with its wings outstretched, its tail fluttering among stylized clouds and Buddhist symbols. The pattern of scrolling clouds continues on the lower half of the box. This small Transitional period (1620-1683) round box was recovered by Captain Michael Hatcher from the wreck of a ship that sunk in the South China seas in approximately 1643. The hoard was the subject of a large sale at Christie's Amsterdam in 1984, which Myrna and Sam Myers attended, and where they purchased this piece. Provenance: Christies Amsterdam, Hatcher Cargo, June 12-13, 1984, lot no. 606. A similar box (lot 228) is pictured on page 23 of the catalog.
