No. 102 - Cobalt Blue Teapot with Infuser | Oriental Porcelain - Imperial Selections

We present an impressive teapot from the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries, standing as a fine example of ceramics inspired by classic Far Eastern craftsmanship. The vessel features a bulbous form, a bamboo-style handle, and a complete, original infuser.

Set against a deep cobalt blue background, the main register is adorned with polychrome painting depicting traditional figures in kimonos amidst garden architecture. Floral details are finished with exquisite, enameled gilding with a tactile texture, giving the composition exceptional depth. The teapot is ideal for both tea ceremonies and as a striking decorative accent.
