Very interesting report on the discovery in 2005 of a wreck on Wanjiao reef located off the coast on Pingtan county near Fuzhou in China's Fujian province. The wreck yielded a large quantity (over 17,000 pieces!) of early Qing dynasty Kangxi porcelains produced in Jingdezhen. The pieces are primarily blue-and-white with the occasional wucai example. Many pieces are transitional. The pieces exhibited much variety of shape and design and a wide selection are illustrated here in colour. Text in Chinese.
