Blue and white dish decorated with a flower basket design that was retrieved from the Tek Sing shipwreck.

The wreck of the Tek Sing (True Star), a Chinese Junk carrying porcelain bound for Java, went down off the Belvedere Reef, Gaspar Straits (Indonesia) on February 6, 1822. It ran aground on a reef. The Tek Sing was a junk from Amoy (Xiamen) of approximately 1000 tons. It had a crew of 200, 1600 passengers and a large porcelain cargo on board. The great loss of life associated with the sinking has led to the Tek Sing being referred to as the "Titanic of the East".

The salvaged cargo contained 350,000 pieces of Chinese porcelain along with a variety of other merchandise like incense burners, pocketwatches, mercury and more. The wreck was discovered by Michael Hatcher on May 12, 1999. The auction of the Tek Sing cargo was held in Stuttgart, Germany in November 2000.
