This white porcelain teapot features a globular body with swirling diagonal ridges, patterned with a raised crisscross border around the top opening. A short spout points upward on our left, while a curved handle extends from our right. Hand-painted floral sprays in red, yellow, pink, and purple decorate the surface alongside small insects. Fine gold lines accent the rim and edges, highlighting the vessel's delicate textures and lustrous, glazed finish.
