Chinese blue-on-white porcelain cup, Kangxi period, 4-paneled floral design, complete but restored. 88.11 grams, 3-1/4" diameter and 2-3/4" tall. Intact porcelain pieces from the Spanish Fleets are very rare, but even rarer is this complete specimen, with typical floral design in four panels on exterior (simple flower inside), whose many pieces (as small as 1/2") were recovered by divers over the course of four years and painstakingly re-assembled, the glue apparent but stable. Recovered from: Spanish 1733 Fleet, Florida Keys
