Description: Batavian style tea bowl with cafe au lait exterior and interior painted in blue & white with a variation of the Passing Boats pattern with Buddhist symbols. 1720s/30s. From the Ca Mau shipwreck but without label. Sometime between 1723 and 1735, a Chinese junk sank off the coast of Vietnam's farthest point in the South China Sea. Its cargo consisted of chinaware, porcelains, blue and white ware, porcelains decorated in brown, white-glazed porcelains over-glazed with enamels, and various stoneware, all originating from different kilns in southern China. The exact journey of the Ca Mau junk is still not clear, but It is believed the wreck was a Chinese merchant's junk on its way from Canton (Guangzhou) to Batavia when it caught fire and sank in about 1725. The goods on board had been ordered by the merchant for Dutch traders, who had limited access to China and its ports. Small flaw to the base rim (see pics), probably from the wreck. 8 cm wide
