Two white-glazed dogs from The Ca Mau Shipwreck Cargo. Yongzheng

Each one modelled as a seated hound, looking to the right; with a brocade box. 3 inches [7 cms.] high [3] - Estimate: £300 - 500
Footnote: The cargo of the Ca Mau shipwreck was salvaged from a Chinese Junk which sank in the South China Sea off the Vietnamese Coast. Whilst the exact date of the wreck is uncertain, it is notable that some of the recovered wears bear the nien hao of The Yongzheng Emperor.
