On offer is an early nineteenth century Chinese porcelain dish recovered from the famous Tek Sing shipwreck of 1822. Often referred to as the Titanic of the East, the Tek Sing sank in the South China Sea carrying thousands of porcelain wares, many of which were later recovered and authenticated. This hand painted example features the traditional lotus and fungus pattern, motifs symbolising purity, longevity and harmony in Chinese decorative art. The delicate brushwork and flowing design are characteristic of porcelain produced for domestic and export markets during the period.

This Tek Sing shipwreck Chinese porcelain dish measures approximately 7.5 inches (19 cm) in diameter and is signed on the reverse. It remains in good condition with no chips, cracks or repairs, an exceptional state of preservation considering its maritime history. The dish is accompanied by its original certificate of authenticity and Tek Sing auction label, providing documented provenance.
