The 'tortoiseshell' glaze was perfected at the Jizhou kilns in Jiangxi province during the Song dynasty. These kilns, and the 'tortoiseshell' glaze, discussed by R. Mowry, Hare's Fur, Tortoiseshell and Partridge Feathers: Chinese Black-and-Brown-Glazed Ceramics, 400-1400, Cambridge, 1996, where a very similar bowl is illustrated, p. 226, no. 87.
