For a similar teapot, see Soames Jenyns, Japanese Porcelain, London 1971, pl. 59A. Jenyns attributes this form to the Empo/Jokyo Period (1673-1687) of the Edo era, describing it as Arita ware with Kakiemon enamels. Jenyns states also that: 'One of the most interesting Japanese forms is that of the Kakiemon tea pots with the body divided into lobes like that of a cantaloupe melon'.
