I do have a piece of Chinese shipwreck porcelain, two ink bottles from the SS Republic and a pair of eggcups that miraculously survived the sinking of a tea clipper shipwreck and were recovered a hundred years later. I will post these in the next couple of days when I have a chance to photograph them.</p><p>There was a lecture on salvaged porcelain on the last day of the 1715 Fleet conference this month. The last day was an extra day &quot;off topic&quot; of the 1715 Fleet and featured all kinds of subjects including Bob Evans lecturing on minor finds of the SS Central America. Some startling images were of daguerreotypes and ambrotypes that were recovered, some were photographed in-situ before recovery that had been staring out into the void for 150 years.</p><p>That is a particularly nice pot you are showing. I have a saucer I will share.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
