It looks quite simular to Bong Ri (a Nijiseiki x Ya Li cross).
Picture and good description can be found on :

More asian pears on (including a few "that don't come out nice and round") :

I found a tree of unusual asian pears in my neighborhood. All the pears
had the same asymmetrical shape (lop-sided) and the same swollen stems.
A picture of one of the pears is posted at the GardenWeb link below. Is
this a common variety with a disease, a tree-wide incomplete
pollination, or are there asian pear varieties that don't come out nice
and round? The one in the photo was on the ground and slightly bruised.
The flavor was sweet and interesting, a mix of grape and caramel.
