Tall, uncleaned, blue-on-white Chinese porcelain jar and lid with floral motif. 972 grams, 11" tall and 4" in diameter. Basically a tall vase with hemispherical base and lid, the exterior of the vase and base completely covered with vines and leaves and flowers in deep blue color, 6 flowers in panels at top matching a similar 6-panel floral motif on the lid, which has a cute little blue-tipped knob on the top, all in perfect condition but with a fine coating of gray sediment (especially inside) and a few oyster "footprints," eminently cleanable for museum quality but nice as it is for display. Recovered from: Unidentified late-1700s/early-1800s wreck off Jolo, Sulu, southwest Mindanao (Zamboanga area, known as the Paticul site), Philippines
