The teapot has a globular form on a short foot-rim, with a curved “C” handle, and straight spout. The cover is slightly curved and overhanging with a knob having a rounded pointed top.
The teapot is beautifully hand decorated.
The “Imari” palette has varying shades of under-glaze blue and over-glaze red pigments with gold gilt highlights. The pattern is intricate and includes a central willow tree with flowers to one side sat in a floral rock formation, with a fence , all in a garden setting. The pattern is enhanced with gold gilded detail as per the images.
The cover has a matching pattern with further detail to the outer part of the handle and lower spout.
There are no markings to the base.
In summary a very beautiful Chinese teapot from the Qing, Kangxi period.
