Vase with Plum Blossom Design

Artist/maker unknown

A ceramic vase similar to this piece was found in a shipwreck off the Sinan coast of southwest Korea. The Chinese merchant vessel was on its way to Japan when it sank in 1323, carrying a large cargo of ceramics—among which were Qingbai, Shufu, and celadon wares.
