640 year old fish plates
          
Sukhothai fish plates from the Turiang (1370) shipwreck. These plates feature a painted fish (long life) motif in the center medallion. (Flower motifs are very RARE!)  This technique of painting, with iron oxide over a slip layer, is the earliest type of underglaze painting and represents a 1,500 year old Chinese tradition. These plates are VERY RARE. Proper Sukhothai clay is light reddish and always shows white quartz crystals which cannot be seen in modern reproductions.
MING DYNASTY PORCELAIN  from The Wanli (c. 1625) Shipwreck.

The 550 year old celadon  wares offered on this page were recovered from the Royal Nanhai (c.AD. 1460) shipwreck site. They are in remarkably good condition despite their long stay on  the seabed. The sometime deteriorated glaze was due to iron oxide (from the glaze matrix) which crystallized on the surface and then when in contact with saltwater corroded the glaze. This is yet another provenance factor! The celadon's were made at Ban Ko Noi & Ban Pa Yang,  Sisatchanalai, (as can be seen on the video to the left) by immigrating potters from the famous celadon kilns in Longquan China.

Chinese blue & white Chrysanthemum bowls  from the late Transitional period (AD. c. 1700) wrecksite. These bowls are from a 'wreck site' rather than a shipwreck. It is most likely that the ship hit a nearby reef, punched a hole in its hull, anchored and jettisoned the bowls in order to facilitate repair. All bowls in this group have small rim chips and a few (if noted) show very fine hairlines. All bowls are about 14 cm in diameter.

Each bowl is delivered with a Certificate of Authenticity.
Sten is a naval architect who spent more than thirty years in Southeast Asia, primarily designing and engineering marine structures. Sten has an academics enthusiasm for ancient ceramics and has written numbers of books and lectured extensively in the subject.

An champion sailor and diver he has discovered a number of shipwreck in the South China Sea and assisted museums world-wide to exhibit and to collect meaningful ceramic collections.

Sten's company; Nanhai Marine Archaeology Sdn. Bhd.. works with Malaysia's Department of Museums and Antiquities and can therefore offer a legal Export Permit from the Department when so required.

Sten has located number of ancient kiln sites in Thailand and in China were his shipwreck ceramics was made centuries ago. He is therefore able to offer absolute provenance on all ceramics sold via Nanhai Marine Archaeology Sdn. Bhd. and, with good concience sign every Certificate of Authenticity supplied with all artefacts.

The maritime archaeology of Sten Sjostrand has led to major advances in the study of Asian trade and trade ceramics in Southeast Asia.  His meticulous documentation of a series of nine shipwrecks from the 11th to 19th centuries reveals the early dominance of Chinese trade ceramics, a subsequent loss of the Chinese monopoly in the late 14th century when Southeast Asian ceramics entered the market, the basic parameters of the Ming gap shortages of the 14th-15th centuries, and a resurgence of Chinese wares in the 16th and 17th centuries.  Just as important, Sjostrand freely shares the information from his discoveries.  Researchers are welcome at his headquarters where he documents his finds and patiently answers the queries of others.  A lifetime’s experience with the sea and sailing allows Sjostrand to bring new understanding to ancient ship construction, and his voluminous reading allows him to set the ships and their cargoes in historical perspective.

Tender edges , or as the Japanese more graphically described it, 'moth-eaten' edges is a technical fault in early 17th century porcelain. This effect is seen when the glaze breaks off in patches along sharp edges in a rather irregular manner and particularly common on the rims of bowls, dishes and plates. The cause is complex, but is mainly due to the physical  properties of the raw materials and the varying surface tensions of the ingredients of the body and glaze. The fault was overcome in the later part of the 17th century when the potters adjusted the proportions of raw materials.

Tender edges is a commonly acceptable factor for authenticity and should not be mended, as a principle,  as it adds to the provenance of the ware. The 'faking' of 'tender edges' is not possible as the edges of the broken off pieces cannot be made as sharp at the original.
These twin deer plate are made at the famous porcelain center of Jingdezhen, China. Own research at these ancient kiln sites has confirmed that this type of plates was fired at the Guanyinge kilns. These kilns are located just north of the old city zone. The deer's are always depicted below a pine tree. Some of these plates shows the common  'tender edges'  which belongs to the period and provide additional authenticity.

Due to the firing technique, most of these plates shows sand grits adhering to the foot-ring
Small bowls with unique 'turtle' design. There are                              two blue lines along the rim and and a double-line circle in the well exhibiting another                                  'turtle' motif. Some of these bowls shows limited  'tender edges'

Nanhai Marine Archaeology Sdn. Bhd. was incorporated on the recommendation of the Malaysian authorities. This was done in order to formalize and to expand on the company’s researcher’s extensive knowledge of Asia’s ceramic developments and maritime trade.

The company’s researchers have been engaged in the search for historical shipwrecks for more than two decades and another decade researching maritime trade. Most of this work is concentrated to the South China Sea, a virtual highway for ancient shipping linking China to India, the Middle East and Southeast Asia in an extensive maritime trade system. This ancient trade started sometime around the 4th century and lasted well into the 19th century.

Following a successful shipwreck discovery, the company obtain a government permit to excavate the wreckage, and then carry out detailed marine archaeological procedures in recovering the artifacts, mapping the ship's remains and securing other data for future research. After each concluded project and following conservation of recovered artifacts, we search for and pinpoint ruined kiln sites and compare its wasters with the recovered ceramics until we are satisfied we located the place in which the shipwreck pottery was made centuries earlier. 

As such we have precisely located a kiln sites in Sisatchanalai, northern Thailand in which our Royal Nanhai and the Nanyang shipwreck celadon ware was made around AD. 1380-1460. (See videos on: http://www.ming-wrecks.com/photopage.html ) Other kilns was located in Sukhothai where production wasters matched the fish and flower plates found on the Turiang and the  Longquan shipwreck. These unique underglaze decorated wares was made at those exact kilns 600 years earlier!  Our latest shipwreck cargo; The Wanli Shipwreck, of Chinese blue and white porcelain, was likewise pinpointed to the Guangyinge kiln site in Jingdezhen, China. (See video on: http://www.ming-wrecks.com/photopage.html )

Our arrangement with the Malaysian authorities is such that we finance all operations and train young Malaysian nationals (on our initiative) in maritime archaeology and related research. After giving all unique and single artifacts and thirty percent of all recovered items to the National Museum (and assisting with exhibitions of artifacts from each project) we are allowed to sell our portion of the recovery to finance future projects. The findings from ongoing research and the compilation of reports, books and catalogues are available on these pages as well as on a separate Internet site: http://www.maritimeasia.ws

Due to the unquestionable authenticity and precisely dated shipwreck pottery, many International Museums now display our shipwreck pieces as reference material.

The artifacts sold on this website are therefore legally and properly excavated and can be supplied with an export permit from the Department of Museum in Malaysia should this be required. This unique working arrangement makes us one of the few Internet sellers that sell from own excavation and issues a meaningful Certificate of Authenticity for every (numbered) piece sold.

So, if you are interested to purchase some of our Antique porcelain, old time pottery or other shipwreck artifacts from the Song dynasty, Ming porcelain or Chinese blue and white porcelain or the famous Yixing teapots, you can rest assured that every piece is excavated through proper archaeology by our own staff. We do not sell anything that is not excavated by ourselves or properly recorded and researched before offered for sale so every piece comes with the “Best possible provenance”

These three types of celadon wares has deteriorated to various degree during their centuries long stay on the seabed. This deterioration is due to undisolved (low-fired) iron oxides in the glaze matrix. The larger bowls, seen to the left, and the saucer, seen on the right, are mostly deteriorated whilst the small celadon bowl in the center maintains a fair degree of glaze. The celadon saucers have nicely foliated rims. Each artifact is hand made and therefore different. Ordered artifacts may therefore be slightly different from those shown on this page. We do however assure you that the general appearance (and authenticity) is comparable whilst we will attempt to send items of no lesser quality than that seen on the pictures to the left.
