柿右衛門 インドネシア製マウント附花鳥風景図水注 17世紀後期

Published: Christiaan J. A. Jörg, Fine and Curious, Japanese Export Porcelain in Dutch Collections, 2003, p.65, no.50.

A similar kendi, without mounts, is illustrated by Barbara Brennan Ford and Oliver R. Impey, Japanese Art from the Gerry Collection in The Metropolitan Museum of Art, 1990, p.77, no.46. 

According to the owner at the time of the above publication, the kendi was purchased in Bantan (Java). The silver mounts, following the shape of the original overturned rim, tend to indicate the value that such items had in Indonesian communities, where they were often regarded as holy or venerated objects.
