Information
The present vase can be dated to c.1640 - 1650 as it is extremely similar to a number of slender blue and white porcelain vases recovered from the Hatcher Cargo of c.1643 (see `History` for more details). Apart from the pieces recovered from the Hatcher Wreck very few vases of this type are known.
