The term "comprador" derives from Portuguese, meaning "broker." During the Edo Period, merchants in Nagasaki formed a guild known as Konpura-sha, which initiated the export of Japanese products through the Dutch East India Company (VOC). Among these exports was the soy sauce bottle commonly referred to as the "comprador bottle" or "Dutch bottle."
This exquisite piece, crafted from Amakusa stoneware, showcases the characteristic gray hues and beautiful speckled surface typical of Hasami ware. Adorned with underglaze blue JAPANSOYA designs, it possesses a charming presence amidst its exotic allure. In excellent condition, it is free from leaks and oil stains, making it suitable for use as a sake vessel or a flower container.
