About this Item

A Chinese teapot, late 19th century and a blue and white dish, 18th century, depicting Guanyin in the hall of the hundred children
teapot height: 15cm; width: 15cm; depth: 12cm; saucer height: 3cm; diameter: 15cm

Notes

Painted in underglaze cobalt blue with loose, impressionistic floral motifs, typical of early Arita workshop production and distinct from the sharper precision of Chinese contemporaries. The form with the short spout and wire swing-handelling reflects the utilitarian domestic use in the Edo period.

Provenance

Private Collection.
