About the Item

Set of six blue and white Qing dynasty porcelain plates from the Nanking Cargo shipwreck. A large cache of porcelain and other merchandise was discovered on the wreck of a Dutch East India Company ship, the Geldermalsen, which sank in the South China Seas in 1752 and was discovered in 1985. The ship had been bound for Amsterdam from Canton when it crashed into a reef and sank along with its cargo of tea, raw silk, porcelain and gold ingots. Some 235 years after it set out on its journey, the cargo was recovered by Captain Michael Hatcher and sold at Christie's in Amsterdam in 1986. These delicate porcelain plates are decorated in the charming "Boatman and six-flower border" pattern, which shows a fisherman punting his boat within a broad river landscape, with a two-story pavilion beside a pine tree, a Chinese parasol tree ("wutong") and rocks on the near bank. There is another house in the distance on a different outcropping, and six floral sprays at the border. The glaze remains shiny, and the blue is a deep cobalt blue. Beautifully hand painted, with variation in the thickness of the line and depth of the color depending on the painter. Each plate has its original Christie's sale label reading "The Nanking Cargo" and stamped with lot numbers 1711, 1742, 1744, 1745 (two plates), and 1746.
