EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable collection of thirteen Ming blue and white vessels, dating back to approximately 1560 during the Ming Dynasty in China. These exquisite porcelain pieces are currently held in a private collection, each one telling its own unique story. What makes this collection even more intriguing is its origin. These vessels were discovered from the depths of the Fort San Sebastian Wreck, an extraordinary find off the coast of Mozambique. This wreck was once a Portuguese ship that sank in the 16th century, carrying precious cargo including these delicate porcelain treasures. The vessels themselves are truly works of art. Adorned with intricate paintings and incised decorations, they depict a variety of subjects such as insects, birds, animals, flowers, foliage, and figures. The attention to detail is evident not only on their surfaces but also on their bases which bear marks inscribed in regular and seal script. Through this photograph captured by Bridgeman Images for Fine Art Finder's archives at Christie's Images (not affiliated with any commercial use), we can marvel at the beauty and craftsmanship preserved within these ancient artifacts. It serves as a testament to both Chinese artistic traditions during the Ming Dynasty and the historical significance of maritime trade routes connecting distant lands centuries ago.
