In 1989, a Vietnamese fisherman discovered the ‘Vung Tao Cargo’ on the Southern Coast of Vietnam. The salvaged contents were sold a Christie’s Amsterdam in a two-day sale of 1011 lots on 7th and 8th April 1992. There was little to date the wreck except a few coins of the reign of the emperor Kangxi (1662-1722) and an inkstick bearing the cyclical date corresponding to AD 1690. The best evidence lies in fact in the study of the porcelain itself that must have been produced within a decade of AD 1683, the year that ceramic historians regard as the official date of the re-opening of China's kilns at Jingdezhen after the Civil War that had disrupted the industry since the 1630s.
