Splendid Landscape Teapot # 96123

This porcelain teapot has a rounded body, high arched handle, long narrow spout, and removable lid with a visible inner opening. The generous handle and clear pouring line make it approachable for serving tea at the table.

Blue-and-white porcelain developed in China during the Yuan period and flourished under the Ming dynasty. Landscape painting became a familiar decorative language, and this pot places mountains, trees, water, and a riverside dwelling around a practical tea vessel.

This piece shows cobalt-blue underglaze painting beneath a glossy white surface, with a landscape repeated on the lid. The blue-and-white underglaze tradition is strongly associated with Jingdezhen porcelain. Rinse and dry the pot before storage.
