    Description

    The lid in the shape of a "mahout" probably does not belong to the object.

    Provenance

    ?-2005
    Mr. and Mrs. Osborne (1914-2004) and Gratia Hauge (d. 2000) [1]

    The National Museum of Asian Art, Smithsonian Institution, by gift of Osborne and Gratia Hauge, and Victor and Takako Hauge [2]
    Notes:
    [1] The Hauge family began collecting Asian paintings, sculpture, and ceramics in the late 1940s and would amass a large collection in the post-World War II years.
    [2] Ownership of collected objects sometimes changed between members of the Hauge families. See Deed of Gift, dated October 16, 2005, copy in object file. From 2005-2023 the work was part of the National Museum of Asian Art’s Arthur M.
