Large Chinese Blue and White Porcelain Floral Tea

Updated August 6, 2026

A large, globular porcelain Chinese teapot with a lovely petite spout, lugs and a built in strainer. The cobalt underglaze designs are of prunus and other branches. There is a diaper border around both the neck of the body and the edge of the lid. The final is a hoop with a leaf wrapped around the base of it on one side. The lid is original to the piece. The teapot has a 8 cup + capacity. The cobalt is a nice, rich blue. The glaze has a slightly blue cast. The inside, rim of the lid, and the concave foot are unglazed. The lower portion of the body is also unglazed and has had a coating applied to prevent the teapot from slipping inside a burner. MEASUREMENTS 9 1/4 in (23.5 cm) long x 7 ½ in (19.0 cm) diameter x 8 in (20.3 cm) tall. Weighs 2 lbs 9.1 oz (1155 g) CONDITION There is a chip to spout, to the lip of the lid, and minor chips along the mouth. Otherwise, there are no damages. There are fine scratches on the body, indicative of age, but the enamels are fresh. The bottom of the inside is stained from tea. The original cane handle that would have been attached to the hoops are now missing. Period: 1900 - 1909 Origin: China Materials: Porcelain Dimensions: 9.25"W × 7.5"D × 8"H
