Bidspirit auction | Two Southeast Asian Shipwreck Recovered


Two Southeast Asian Shipwreck Recovered Celadon Glazed Ceramic Vessels - This lot consists of two ceramic vessels recovered from a maritime environment, consistent with 14th to 16th-century Southeast Asian export wares. The first item is a stoneware ovoid storage jar featuring a short, upright neck and two incised horizontal bands encircling the shoulder. It is finished in a light green-grey celadon-type glaze. The second item is a flared, hollow pedestal vessel or cup with a tapered body and wide rim. Both pieces exhibit significant calcified marine growth, including fossilized tubeworm casings and barnacle remnants, which are characteristic of long-term underwater submersion. The jar base shows kiln support scars and is partially covered by marine encrustations. Ovoid Jar: 10 cm height; 9 cm maximum diameter Flared Vessel: 8.5 cm height; 6.5 cm rim diameter.
