Kendi with glazed base on a high foot. The round body and tapering mammiform spout ribbed, the long, cylindrical neck with an overturned rim. Covered overall with a celadon glaze.
Japanese celadon dishes were very popular in Southeast Asia. In view of the popularity of the shape, celadon kendis most certainly will have been made for the Southeast Asian market. They came in various sizes. A larger example is in the Ashmolean Museum. This elegant small kendi found its way to Indonesia where it was acquired.
