The Chinese also have a rich history of pottery and it is very well-documented already so I can't say anything authoritative about it but here's a fun video I found of a young, modern Chinese potter demonstrating a very ancient shape.
The gourd is a popular symbol in Chinese myth and legend and represents a long life as traditionally, the pills of immortality were kept in a jade gourd. It shouldn't be surprising that Chinese potters, artists, sculptors and embroiderers should include its image in almost everything they made.
