- PAIR OF CHINESE BLUE AND WHITE PORCELAIN
PAIR OF CHINESE BLUE AND WHITE PORCELAIN 'NANKING' SAUCEBOATS3 3/4 x 8 1/2 x 4 1/4 in.
Note: The Nanking cargo is the most famous of the shipwreck cargoes the 'Nanking Cargo,' which is the term applied to the porcelain recovered from the wreck of the Geldermalsen that sank on January 3rd, 1752. The Geldermalsen was a cargo ship belonging to the Dutch East India Company that struck a reef on its way back from Canton China and sank off the coast of Indonesia. It took with it to the bottom of the sea over 150,000 ceramic pieces, nearly 700,000 pounds of tea, as well as gold and other cargo. The ship lay submerged for over 230 years, before being salvaged by Michael Hatcher in 1986, the recovered porcelain was sold through Christie's auction house. Fortunately most of the pieces are of the familiar 'blue and white' type, the decoration being under the glaze and therefore unaffected by the sea.

FRAMED 31.25” X 42”.CHINESE SCHOOL, Circa 1847, "Puerto de Whampoa en el Rio de Canton". Titled in Spanish lower margin outside the double inked border. Dimensions: Watercolor heightened with gouache on paper, 22" x 33" sight. Framed 31.25" x 42". Provenance: The Kelton Collection of Marine Art & Artifacts.Notes:Whampoa was an international anchorage upriver from Canton, where the large ships anchored for the duration of their stay in the Pearl River. In the background is the distinctive pagoda on Whampoa Island, one of the first views of China for most seamen. The majority of ships at anchor in this painting happen to be American. In 1769, William Hickey noted "Whampoa is pleasantly situated, having two islands close to the ships, one called Dane's Island, upon which each ship erects what is called a Bankshall (or Banks Hall as some logs state), being a lightly constructed wooden building from sixty to one hundred feet in length into which the upper masts, yards, spars, sails, rigging and stores are deposited, and previous to being re-embarked, are all repaired and put into order. The other is called French Island".
