Auction Includes: Authentic Chinese Porcelain Tek Sing Treasure - Blue and White Circular Saucer Authenticity Guaranteed Blue and white Saucer dish with slightly flared side painted in the center with reeds issuing from rockwork between bamboo and flowering peony plant, the underside with three floral sprays ant the base often with a two-character mark within a double ring. $7.99 USD Domestic US Shipping without book insurance included $26.00 USD International Shipping without book insurance included Shipwreck Tragedy - and Antique Treasure you can buy! The Tek Sing (True Star) set sail from China, bound for Java, in 1822. She was heavily laden with Chinese porcelain, 1,600 passengers (mostly living outside on deck) and 200 crew. After 24 days she struck a reef, and quickly sank, taking more lives than even the Titanic disaster. In 1999, salvage diver Captain Mike Hatcher found the wreck and recovered her porcelain cargo - the largest ever discovery of its kind, and in remarkably good condition. Bowls and dishes predominated, mostly in the blue-and-white patterns that graced the tables of 19th century Europe and have gained in popularity ever since. We have acquired a limited stock of this fine porcelain, which has lain on the seabed for nearly 200 years. It has an amazing history and, for antiques of this nature, is very affordable.
