About the Item

Pair of 17th century Chinese porcelain blue and white boxes painted with flowering branches of prunus growing from rockwork. These tiny transitional period (1620-1683) boxes were 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. The finish on these pieces has been softened, with the blues more muted due to their 300-year stay in saltwater. A similar box is pictured on p. 23 of the Christie's catalog of June 12-13, 1984. Provenance: Christie's Amsterdam, Hatcher Cargo June 12-13, 1984.
