Unusually intact plate (a few chips repaired) with brown and blue design over white background with bits of tan earthenware peeking out through the glaze, the other shards of different colors and designs but all of the same type of material, very rare as from this wreck, whose artifacts are mostly unavailable to collectors. With original certificate from the salvagers. Recovered from: Capitana, sunk in 1654 off Chanduy, Ecuador
Estimate: $200
