Comments:This delicate double gourd-shaped sake vessel with alternating geometric patterns was made for the Japanese market at the Jingdezhen kilns in Jiangxi Province, China. Shonzui ware, as it came to be known, was popular in the early Edo period (1615-1868) and formed the prototype for what became a common style in Japanese porcelain. This gourd-shaped bottle was used for pouring rice wine. Its neck was repaired in Japan during the nineteenth century. A.W. Franks purchased this bottle for the Museum, noting it had belonged to the famous Japanese antiquarian, Ninagawa Noritane (1835-1882). The latter notes that this ware was associated with Gorodaiyu Go Shonzui. Franks believed this ware was Japanese and made in the Kameyama kiln in Nagasaki (NR 2015).
