Antique Palembang White Shipwreck Preserve Pot

Our treasured Antique Palembang White Shipwreck Preserve Pot is over 900 years old.

A historic pot originating from an ancient sunken boat which began it's journey in China 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 time and is in remarkable condition being clean and perfectly preserved. There is some glaze left on the surfaces of the white underglaze giving a raku-like appearance to some of the exterior 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 appearance. The originally glazed surfaces worn smooth by tides, silt and sand. They have handles to the top of the body of the pot.

Once used as preserve pots they would have been decorated with an olive green glaze.

This fabulous antique preserve pot would be the perfect decorative antique for kitchen shelving or a glazed kitchen cabinet.

Please expect the condition to be commensurate with being 900 years underwater, there will be elements of imperfection and historic marks and glorious imperfections
