Description

This teapot is modeled after a Qing Dynasty Yongzheng-era celadon-glazed teapot housed in the collection of the Palace Museum (Forbidden City).

It features a constricted mouth, a flattened round body, a short straight spout, and a square curved handle, all resting on a recessed circular foot. The lid fits snugly onto the teapot using a traditional interlocking “mother-and-son” rim design, with a gently domed surface topped by a bridge-shaped finial.

The entire piece is coated in a fine feiqing glaze, smooth and unadorned, allowing the pure form to speak for itself. Areas such as the rim and spout reveal hints of the white porcelain body beneath, where the glaze thins slightly—typical of high-fired celadon pieces.

The design is elegant and restrained, with crisp, well-defined lines that remain fluid and harmonious. The delicate celadon hue and jade-like luster lend the piece a quiet sophistication. This teapot is a fine example of both aesthetic beauty and functional excellence, making it an ideal object for both appreciation and use.
