large gourd ID

My grandmother has a preserved gourd that she bought in Japan years ago. I just noticed it recently. It is at least 18 inches across and ~24 inches high. It is distinctly "pear-shaped". She said that all of the poorer people there used them as containers and that they were very common. I cannot find anything that seems similar to hers. Any ideas based on this description. Fwiw, it does not look at all like the pictures of bushel gourds that I have seen.
