Background Information on the Auction and the Ceramics from the Butterfield's website : The Hoi An shipwreck contained a precious cargo of over 150,000 Vietnamese blue and white ceramics that display a richness of form and decoration previously unknown to art historians and scholars of the period. The recovery of the Hoi An ship's cargo is believed to redefine the art-historical relationship between Vietnam and China, enlarge knowledge of fifteenth/sixteenth century Asian trade, and revolutionize the scholarship and understanding of Vietnamese ceramics.

Through a precedent-setting agreement, unique objects from the shipwreck have been retained by the National History Museum in Hanoi for the people of Vietnam, with another 10% of the cargo dispersed among more than 100 regional museums. The vast remainder of the rare and important blue and white figural ceramics, has been consigned to Butterfields by the Vietnamese government and Saga Horizon, the Malaysian salvage company which handled the recovery process.

In preparation for the series of sales to be conducted both live and online, the entire Hoi An collection has been sorted by archaeologists according to type and condition. The cargo includes hundreds of barbed-rim dishes, pouring vessels, bottles, jars, cups, bowls, figural ceramics, and boxes - all painted with mythological animals or landscape scenes. Within a type, some examples retain their original lustrous glazes unaltered by centuries in the sea. Other examples show various degrees of degradation, but are a marvel nonetheless at affordable prices.

DISCOVERY AND RECOVERY: The ceramic artifacts began to appear in 1993 when local fisherman found pieces caught in their nets. After the importance of the discovery was established, the Vietnamese government intervened and sought assistance to locate the source. The shipwreck containing the treasures was located off the coast of Hoi An, Vietnam, in the South China Sea typhoon zone known as the "Dragon Sea." The heavily laden ship went down in the late fifteenth/...
