Intact porcelain bowl . Glossy white with orange staining, one of very few recovered due to the expense of deep-sea excavation

PEDIGREE :

Recovered from: Douro, sunk in 1882 off Cape Finisterre.

Delivered with old catalog and COA.

Ex – Spink’s (London) The Douro Cargo auction catalog of November 1996, in which this bowl was part of lot 434.

The RMS Douro, a British transatlantic luxury steamer, was lost in 1882 after colliding with the Spanish steamer Yrurac Bat in the Bay of Biscay while on the last leg of her 62nd and final voyage. In all, only six Douro passengers lost their lives, leaving, together with those from the other ship, a total of 59 passengers and crew drowned.

Salvage operations, conducted at a depth of 1200 feet by Nigel Pickford and Sverker Hallstrom in 1995, resulted in the recovery of thousands of gold sovereigns from the reign of Queen Victoria (1837-1901). Read the article

COMMENTS :

Fully intact, with detailed company logo on 1-3/8″ raised rim and hallmark of maker G.L. Ashworth & Bros. / Hanley on bottom.
