Comments:Harrison-Hall 2001:Such bottles were exported to southeast Asia in large quantities during the Yuan period. This example was found in Indonesia. The quality of painting of the dragon is inferior to that used on other products made with similar designs for the domestic market. However, the ‘heaped and piled’ appearance of the cobalt-blue pigment beneath the glaze is typical of the Yuan dynasty.
