Description: 15th Century Annamese Box & Cover, Hoi An Hoard? A 15th century Annamese blue and white circular box and cover, 3.5cm tall and 5.5cm in diameter. The piece is possibly part of the Hoi An Hoard but does not thave the Butterfields auction house labels. There is a little wear to the inner rim, a small patch of missing glaze near the base and typical small kiln imperfections; the box and the cover are a little ill-fitting. Please see all photos for confirmation of condition The Hoi An HoardThe Thai vessel carrying the cargo sank in the 15th century near the port of Hoi An. In the early 1990s, fishermen trawling for squid and red snapper stumbled upon the wreck. Many pieces were sold in the Vietnamese antique market before the Vietnamese government stepped in and engaged a Malaysian salvage company to recover the remaining items during the summers of 1998 – 1999. The find was termed the "Hoi An Hoard" and the majority of pieces were sold at auction in 2000 by Butterfields in San Francisco.The Hoi An shipwreck is a very important record of Vietnamese types of blue and white and enamelled wares found during the 2nd half of 15th century. It displays a richness of form and decoration previously unknown to ceramics experts on Vietnamese wares. The cargo included dishes, pouring vessels, bottles, jars, cups, bowls, figural ceramics, and covered boxes.
