Teapot

This teapot is exceptionally rich in its range of colors and decorative floral motifs. Around the bulbous body of the pot, there are six raised lobes each decorated with a painted with a scene that is repeated on both sides: an exuberantly exotic bird; a seventeenth-century falconer with his falcon; and a deer. On the side and front faces of the spout appear storks. The handle is in raised leaf and floral decoration and terminates in a dolphin's or dragon's head.
