The Vung Tau Cargo was discovered in 1989 by Vietnamese fishermen and subsequently sold at Christie's Amsterdam in a two-day sale of 1011 lots on 7th and 8th April 1992. An inkstick in the ship’s cargo bears the cyclical date corresponding to 1690 and much of the porcelain appears to have been created in the decade of 1683 following the reopening of the kilns at Jingdezhen.
