A fine and rare saltglaze relief modeled teapot of small proportions decorated in blue with elaborate Greek key motifs and a classic motif in the central panel. The spout is formed in the form of serpent's head gripped by a hand. The diamond form of the piece is especially appealing. The diminutive shape relates to the significant expense of tea in the period.
Dimensions: 4.35 inches high
Current Condition: Professional restoration to the corner of the base, the opening rim, and minor chip at the tip of the spout. The knop is replaced
