Description

The relief on the side of this teapot depicts the ancient myth of the Judgment of Paris.
A glossy white porcelain teapot features a cylindrical body, a flat lid with a central knob, and a thin handle curving from the side. To our left, a tapered spout angles upward. A circular raised relief on the side depicts four nude figures and a dog. The uniform surface is smooth, reflecting light evenly across the white glaze. The vessel sits on a slightly recessed base.
