Pair of Antique Palembang Green Shipwreck Pot | Large 22244
Sold as a pair, our treasured Antique Palembang Green Shipwreck Preserve Pot | Large is over 900 years old.
A historic pot originating from an ancient sunken boat which began it's journey in China and and was travelling through South East Asia before it was shipwrecked on a riverbed. This shipwreck pottery was discovered relatively recently in a tidal strait between Malaysia and Southern Sumatra.
This historic and beautiful ceramic pot features four handles and is remarkably preserved as it was buried in sandy shale in a shipping channel for centuries.
This pot is worn smooth with the passage of time and is in remarkable condition being clean and perfectly preserved. There is some green glaze left on the surfaces of the white unerglaze giving a raku-like appearance to some of the surfaces of the pot.
This lovely pot would have once been an everyday item used to store and preserve liquids or foodstuffs.
A lovely heavy and robust ceramic item with a time worn wabi-wabi appearance.
Worn smooth with the passage of time underwater these pots are matt in apperance. The originally glazed surfaces worn smooth by tides, silt and sand. They have handles to the top of the body of the pot all present and in good condition.
Once used as preserve pots they would have been decorated with an olive green glaze.
Dimensions of each pot
Height 26cm
Diameter 22cm
Internal neck diameter 11.5 -12cm
