Description

For several days now I have been doing Research on a beautiful coral encrusted jar that was found on board of a discovered shipwreck around the Agean Islands in Greece many years ago. Ive done extensive reasearch and seen some similar artifacts only belonging to Tang Dynasty and several other huge discoveries. The latest collection was sold for millions.

I do believe it is 9th and 10th century. But like we say only science can verify with carbon dating. This vase been in the family for over 60 years. For us and I'm sure for many is considered as a true piece of history. I have received very great feedback by many collectors but none have come close to the real value of this very rare antique.

The detail in the crust coral formations on this item is un comparable to any other online. Ive only seen a few in museums, and then none that are displayed are as rare as this.

Re: Coral Encrusted Ceramic Jar: 9th Century AD

With artifacts like this, they really are not suitible items for any sort of online appraisal fromat, as they require a physical appraisal by a Specialist. That said, most pottery like this from shipwreaks is really not that rare, their value determined more by their condition,and the decoration on them rather than the coral encrusrations. I would suggest contacting a local museum and ask for a referral to a Specialist in Mediterranean ceramics.
