BowlSawankhalocE
Originating from China during the Sung Dynasty of the 14th Century.
Found in a shipwreck in Sawankhaloc Thailand in South East Asia these stunning ceramics were salvaged from the floor of the ocean.
This unique bowl has accumulated marine encrustations upon every surface. Barnacles, coral and calcium deposits cover the surfaces of the pot.
The bowl would have originally been glazed but the passage of time and tides has worn this away etching the external surfaces to a matt finish. This has allowed marine life to grip the surfaces and take hold. Each pot undoubtedly provided a safe harbour for small fish and aquatic creatures for hundreds of years. Some pots have shells and coral inside them too.
Each bowl is both a work of art and a time capsule of marine archaeology.
Made from decorated fine porcelain the vessel itself was beautifully made and lightweight, over time the vase has become heavy with calcium and marine deposits.
