Hoi An Shipwreck Vietnamese blue and white 

A Thai vessel, carrying the cargo, sank in the 15th century near the port of Hoi An. In the early 1990s,fishermen trawling for squid and red snapper stumbled upon the wreck. Many pieces were sold in the Vietnamese antique market before the Vietnamese government stepped in and engaged a Malaysian salvage company to recover the remaining items during the summers of 1998 – 1999. The find is termed the "Hoi An Hoard".

The precise dating is still the subject of discussion, with ceramics experts suggesting a date from mid 15th to early 16th century.  But it is certain that most of the the ceramics from this wreck came from the kilns in the vicinity of Chu Dau, six kilometers from Hai Duong.
