Large, pear-shaped bottle on footring, long, tapering neck with spreading mouthrim. Decorated in underglaze blue with a landscape with banana plants, a sitting figure, a figure holding a parasol and more figures in a pavilion. On the neck long pointed leaves. This decoration is basically derived from Chinese transitional porcelain. However, the robust pear-shaped body gradually tapering to the neck and the profiled mouthrim are typically Japanese. This shape does not occur in transitional porcelain and may be derived from an Islamic model or a mid 16th-century Chinese bottle (Krahl & Ayers). An almost identical example is in the Groninger Museum, Groningen (Lunsingh Scheurleer ref.)
