This is Cornwall --These are just a few Chinese porcelain items salvaged from a sea disaster worse than the Titanic.
Thousands of pieces of wreck cargo have been collated by Devon auctioneers from the Tek Sing (True Star) ship which sank in South East China in 1822.
Just 190 of the 1,800 passengers and crew survived the disaster – referred to in modern times as the "Titanic of the East".
Now Lucy Marles has the arduous job of documenting each item recovered from the bottom of the ocean before it is auctioned next month.
Nick Sainty, of Bearnes Hampton & Littlewood auctioneers in Exeter, said the items were made in China and traded in Indonesia before eventually being purchased by a local collector.
He said: "We're auctioning 4,500 pieces of wreck cargo of varying sizes including bowls, plates and some vases."
The Tek Sing set sail from China in 1822, heavily laden with Chinese porcelain.
There were also 1,600 emigrants on board who were searching for a better life working on the sugar plantations of Java.
After 24 days of sailing the ship struck a reef, and quickly sank, taking more lives than even the Titanic disaster 90 years later when 1,502 passengers died.
"It's a big auction," Mr Sainty said. "What we are selling is pieces of social history.
"More people died on the ship than on the Titanic. A British ship picked up the 190 survivors," he added.
In 1999, salvage diver Captain Mike Hatcher found the wreck and recovered her porcelain cargo – the largest ever discovery of its kind, and in remarkably good condition.
Tek Sing was a huge ship for her time – weighing well over one thousand tons, 160 feet in length and 32 feet wide. Its tallest mast was estimated to be 90 feet in height.
The auction takes place in Exeter on March 16. Reported by This is 2 hours ago.
