　According to Dutch records, this type of bottle is called a “gallipot. It is a unique form with a richly bulging body and a single mount below the mouth. The body is painted with a peony and a small bird that resides on it, all done with a firm brushstroke. This piece is of high documentary value because it bears the initials “I.C.” surrounded by a wreath in the high stand, which is presumed to be the initials of Johannes Kamphaus, the head of the Dutch trading post in Dejima in 1671. Johannes Kamphaus was later Governor of the Dutch Indies from 1684 to 1690, so this bottle was probably made to order in the late 1680s during his stay in Batavia. This is the Tenwa to Joukyou period.
