Comments:Harrison-Hall 2001:From its shape and the scheme of its decoration it can be dated to the Yuan era. It is closely related to yuhuchun with qingbai glaze discovered in a small Yuan hoard in Taishun, Zhejiang province, in south-eastern China. Such bottles were made at Jingdezhen. The neck of a similar yuhuchun bottle with underglaze red decoration was unearthed from Yuan remains at Luomaqiao kilns in Jingdezhen.This type of yuhuchun bottle was also exported to countries as far afield as Africa and as near at hand as Indonesia in the first half of the fourteenth century. A broken yuhuchun bottle of this kind is among porcelain excavated from Gedi, now on display in Fort Jesus, Mombasa, Kenya. Another similar vase with cut-down neck from Lawang, Malang, East Java, is in the Museum Pusat, Jakarta, Indonesia. Yuhuchun bottles “were also made with variations in the decoration in underglaze red, such as lotus in place of chrysanthemums, as evidenced by an example in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.Chrysanthemums are associated with the autumn, longevity and Confucian values of steadfastness and were cultivated in China from at least the seventh century bc. It was believed that the chrysanthemum could be ingested as part of a medical preparation to prolong life. Indeed, according to a Han dynasty custom, chrysanthemum wine, made from fermented rice and chrysanthemum leaves and twigs, was drunk on the ninth day of the ninth month to promote longevity.
