Compare the smaller Longquan celadon vase of similar form excavated from a shipwreck off the Korean coast included in the special exhibition at the National Museum of Korea, and illustrated in the catalogue, cultural Relics Found off the Sinan Coast, 1977, no. 42. The 'Sinan wreck,' as it is commonly referred to, was the wreck of a Chinese merchant ship that sank off the coast of Korea in 1323 while carrying a cargo of Chinese wares including a large group of Longquan celadons and other Chinese ceramics.
