Offered in this sale is a very nice hand carved Chinese or perhaps more likely Japanese teapot on teapot. Overall it measures roughly 5 1/2" tall x 5 1/2" wide from handle to spout. The smaller miniature teapot that serves as the initial cover for the pot has a cover as well. The smaller teapot measures roughly 1 3/4" tall x 2 1/2" from the handle to the spout. I will point out that there is a chip to one side of the spout of the miniature teapot which you can see illustrated in the 8th image. The manner in which the piece is sculpted, carved and glazed gives it the appearance of real bamboo. Other than the damage to the side tip of the spout on the smaller pot, there are no other chips, cracks, flakes, hairlines or restoration.
Please be sure to enlarge and zoom each image for a close up view of the detail of the decoration and condition. Do not hesitate to send me a message if you have questions or would like additional images.
I always guarantee everything that I sell to be as described. This piece is being sold without a reserve as long as there is an opening bid. The shipping cost within the United States is .00.
