The Ca Mau Cargo was discovered around 1998 and was eventually sold in Sotheby's Amsterdam in the Ca Mau Shipwreck Sale, 29-31 January 2007. The presence of porcelain with the Yongzheng reign mark allows the wreck to be dated between 1723 and 1735. This pattern was much appreciated in Europe and versions of the design are found on teapots from the Worchester factory.
