Literature
Maura Rinaldi in Kraak Porcelain, A Moment in the History of Trade, London, 1989, pl. 277.
The ewer with a globular body surmounted by a tall slender neck rising to a flaring six star mouth rim. The curved spout is decorated as a branch with molded leaves. The body is decorated with panels containing blossoming branches beneath a thin band of flower and wan-filled panels, all below the neck decorated with a bird on rocks amidst flowering plants.
The popular name for this type of kendi is 'pomegranate ewer', most likely adopted due to the distinctive star-shaped mouth rim. In China the pomegranate ( shi-liu) which is full of seeds, symbolises fertility.
