CA MAU
In 1725 a Chinese junk filed 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 Sotheby’s 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. 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. In this sale Halls Fine Art offer dealers, connoisseurs and academics alike the opportunity once more to acquire a selection of these beautiful and delicate porcelain pieces being sold here by a Staffordshire vendor.
