Chinese teapot

Printed with bright floral motifs, this glass teapot was used by the Chinese in Malaya to hold and pour water or tea. A very pretty find and in excellent condition.

Asking price: RM70

The earliest examples of teapots come from the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) and were made from zisha, or "purple" clay of the YiXing region of China.
