CA MAU SHIPWRECK PORCELAIN

In 1725 a Chinese junk filled with export porcelain and sailing ninety miles south of Canton on its way to the Malaysian archipelago sank after apparently suffering an intense fire on-board which was so hot that it fused together some pieces of its precious cargo. This fire, burning at 1400 degrees Fahrenheit may have started in the kitchen as cast iron cooking pots were found melted together and it may have burned long enough for the crew to escape along with the ship’s seals.

The junk lay for over two hundred and eighty years without being discovered or disturbed until, in 1998, two Vietnamese fishermen snagged their nets on a quantity of Chinese porcelain and began to haul it from the deep. Before the Vietnamese Ministry of Culture and Information stepped in, the fishermen had managed to bring to the surface over thirty thousand pieces of porcelain. In 2005 the Vietnamese Government decided to sell a proportion of the overall 130,000 pieces of porcelain that had been salvaged and sent 76,000 to auction with Sothebys in Amsterdam in January 2007.

The shipwreck, the Ca Mau, finally unloaded its cargo to an eager market over three days in the Netherlands and the ring of commerce between East and West for this beautiful porcelain was sealed once more after a two century gap.

Shipwreck porcelains are a fascinating subject and shed much light on history, porcelain, human and marine archaeology and commerce.They represent in their purest form, a time capsule, sealing in the fashion of the day represented by the most popular shapes and designs.After the discovery of the Nanking Cargo by Michael Hatcher in the 1980’s there have been many shipwreck porcelain sales at auction, including Vung Tau,Tek Sing, Diana and of course, Ca Mau.The number of pieces offered have been breathtaking, usually 100,000 pieces or more per sale and reflect the size of these cargoes in their day and the demand for such wares throughout South east Asia and Europe.

A great deal of the cargo from the Ca Mau consisted of tea bowls, saucers and saucer dishes for the mass market and although some of these were finished in a coffee brown or café au lait finish, the majority were painted in cobalt blue against a white porcelain ground. Such tea bowls and saucers are ideal for collectors, being easy to display, relatively inexpensive and often displaying a myriad of different patterns.At the Amsterdam sale, for instance, fifty tea bowls and saucers in the ‘Passing Boats Allover’ pattern were on sale for 2000 Euros, or just over £1000 for 100 individual pieces of porcelain from 1725! Equating to £10 a piece or three pints of beer, not bad for a collection of 18th century Chinese porcelain.

In this sale Halls Fine Art offer dealers and connoisseurs alike the opportunity once more to acquire a selection of these beautiful and delicate porcelains being sold here by a Staffordshire vendor.

Split into smaller lots than the Amsterdam sale, the Ca Mau offering has something for every budget and offers opportunities for both academics and decorators.

This figure is also discussed and illustrated in I. L. Legeza’s ‘A Descriptive and Illustrated Catalogue of the Malcolm MacDonald Collection of Chinese Ceramics’, London 1972, Pg. 79, No.384. A smaller, seated Buddha is illustrated in ‘Qing Imperial Porcelain’ Hong Kong, 1995, No. 72.

It is unusual for these figures to be posed in such a manner and it is possible that they may have been modelled on a Ming Dynasty Xuande Period, gilt bronze original. For a gilt bronze and champleve enamel figure of similar form, dated to the Qianlong Period and in the Victoria and Albert Museum, see S.W Bushell,‘Chinese Art’, London 1924,Volume 2, Figure 94.Although these figures rarely appear at auction, for recent examples see: Christie’s Hong Kong, 29th April 2002, lot 539 and Christie’s London, 15th May 2007, lot 184.

Avalokitesvara meaning ‘Lord who looks down’ is a bodhisattva who embodies the compassion of all Buddhas. He is one of the more widely revered bodhisattvas in mainstream Buddhism. The original name for this bodhisattva was Avalokitesvara. The Chinese name for Avalokitasvara is Guan Yin which is a translation of the earlier name Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva. This bodhisattva is variously depicted as male or female, and may also be referred to simply as Guanyin in certain contexts. £20,000 - £40,000

A similar example of this figure can be found in the Gulbenkian Art Museum, Durham University, accession number DUROM.1969.358 which was a gift from the Rt. Hon. Malcolm MacDonald to the University. The Durham figure is described as ‘A hollow moulded porcelain figure of a kneeling Bodhisattva on a circular lotus petalled base, wih both hands raised shoulder high, and wearing ornamental head-dress with an expression of joy on the face. Decorative elements of the costume are picked out in relief and reinforced with opaque, pale blue enamel and gilt on a coffee coloured ground’.
