Additional Notes & Condition Report
This type of colored ware was made for export to Islamic countries from the 15th through 17th centuries. Vietnamese export trade eventually ceased in the 17th century, crushed by the massive export output of the Chinese kilns. Discovered off the port of Hoi An, south of HuÚ, the charger is exceptionally large for this opus of wares and typical in that pieces of this size are almost never found undamaged.
Large rapaired crack to one side where a large section of the charger broke off.
