This appears to be a close copy of a Chinese Yixing peach-shaped cup. A closely related model in Chinese stoneware with the seal of Chen Mingyuan was sold by Bonhams in Hong Kong from the Mr & Mrs Gerard Hawthorn Collection, 28 November 2011, lot 240. The addition of a 'sparrow beak lip' seen here in place of the naturalistic point of a peach is likely to be an European adaptation of the form.
