set of 4 celadon vases from the Jepara shipwreck, the Song Dynasty (10th-12th century)
- Country: China
- Period: Northern Song (960-1126 AD)
- Material: Celadon with colored pigments
- Size: 6/7 x 9.5/10 cm
- Nice vases were most probably glazed but this is vanished by the salt sea water
- One vase has chinese characters at the bottom and on still has a shell inside.
- The Jepara wreck was discovered north of the Central Java coast after local fishermen discovered ceramic shards in the area, which were analysed and found to be Song porcelain. Though very little of the wreck itself remained, the following excavations by a salvage team in 1998 unearthed over 10,000 ceramic pieces along with other artefacts.
- These objects come with an interesting booklet about the excavation of the Jepara ship including information about the kilns and general Chinese culture.
