About this work

Incomplete bowl, consisting of four glued fragments and a loose sherd, made for export to Anglo-Saxon countries, Nanking porcelain. This object is 18th-century and therefore cannot be from the cargo of the Witte Leeuw. It is unclear whether the object originates from the site or was later mixed, possibly with material from the Zeelelie.
