Comments:Harrison-Hall 2001:This bottle belongs to a group of high-quality celadon wares which were made during the early fifteenth century and which bear designs which may similarly be found in blue-and-white ceramics from Jingdezhen. A ‘yuhuchun’ with a design of floral scrolls and green glaze is in the Ardebil shrine collection. Indeed many such quality pieces were exported beyond China’s frontiers. The present bottle was collected in India by William Cummins (see BM 1963.0520.5). Another ‘yuhuchun’ bottle of the same form but with lotus in place of grapes is mounted with a seventeenth-century Ottoman silver-gilt handle and foot mount and with a hole for the attachment of a spout; it is in the Topkapi Saray Museum, Istanbul. An identicalbottle to the British Museum piece is in the private Meiyintang collection.
