Special Markdown--: Malasian Shipwreck DESARU Chinese Porcelain Spoon

The Chinese cargo vessel Desaru was lost in the China Sea in the 19th century and was only discovered in the last couple of decades, sunk in mud. It was discovered when fishing trawlers' nets brought up pieces of wood and broken pottery/porcelain. When first dived on, the site didn't show the ship but rather a site littered with hundreds of pieces of porcelain and shards of broken items.

Some of the discoveries included tea pots and vases/vessels that ran up to 5 feet tall; some were found filled with sand--and porcelain. Apparently barrels and giant vase-like vessels were filled with the cargo.

I was fortunate to acquire some three dozen items, many of which were from the DESARU and also the ADMIRAL GARDNER. These porcelain spoons, nearly all the same size, were all hand-painted so if you look carefully each is a bit different in both design and color that ranges from shades of blue to just one that is brown.

THIS LOT IS FOR ONE SPOON.
