About this work

Fragments of plates and bowls made for export to Anglo-Saxon countries. Nanking porcelain plate. One with concretion. Bowl or cup with traces of enamel decoration. 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 in, possibly with material from the Zeelelie.
