 This piece is commonly referred to as a chakakei-shaped tokuri, and although it is also considered to be Ko-kutani, its style suggests that it was clearly export porcelain of the Kanbun period (1644-1644). The body is roughly decorated with a gourd pattern, and the ground is decorated with fine horizontal line drawings.
