    A small Chinese teapot of uncertain date, possibly first quarter 19C for the export market. Qing Dynasty. Bought in charity shop :) No damage whatsoever.
    Bamboo-styled spout on acute incline; four strainer holes. Dimensions: 41/2 inches tall; diameter 3 8/10 inches at (glazed) base; length from outside round of strap handle to tip of spout: 6.5 inches. Teapot lid hole: 2 inches across. A beautiful little piece. Covered in many Chinese symbols such as peaches and lotus flowers, butterflies and birds.

    I have seen other VERY similar pots, but this is the smallest in this style I have seen. Note raised round lip where the lid sits. Other slightly later teapots have a more rounded 'dome' style, and are invariably larger.

    Any idea of the date? I don't think it could be earlier than 1820-30. Any experts out there?

      Why are the photographs on their side? Huh?

      Photos are on their sides because you uploaded from your phone. You have to upload from your pc, making sure your photos are in the right position beforehand.

      Any marks on the bottom? What is the condition of the inside?

      Condition inside is good; no hairline cracks, that kind of thing. No marks on bottom, no stamps, that kind of thing.
