EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the exquisite beauty of a pair of tea bowls and saucers recovered from the Ca Mau Wreck in 1998. Dating back to around 1725 during the Yongzheng period in Jingdezhen, China, these porcelain pieces showcase intricate cobalt blue underglaze decoration featuring three figures and a pavilion.
The delicate hand-painted design on these objects tells stories of a bygone era, transporting us back to the elegant world of 18th-century tea drinking rituals. The contrast between the vibrant blue motifs and the pristine white background creates a striking visual impact, making this teaset truly stand out as a work of art.
These Georgian-era treasures are not just crockery; they are symbols of cultural exchange and craftsmanship at its finest. Each sip from these cups would have been steeped in history and tradition, connecting those who used them to centuries-old practices of hospitality and refinement.
Displayed horizontally in this shot, these tea bowls and saucers invite us to admire their timeless elegance and appreciate the skill that went into creating them. This image is a window into another time, where every detail was carefully considered to create objects that were both functional and beautiful.
