Condition Notes
A discolored (yellowed) spray on the spout, handle, and body, applied many decades ago to disguise repairs, was removed in 2025 and the white body touched up. The handle, which has been reattached to the body, and the spout are likely replaced. The lid has no damage or repairs.

Comments
The white, globular teapot has a short, molded spout opposite a molded handle. Floral decoration in plum, purple, orange and green decorates the sides. A delicate band of dots and lines in purple, orange, and black decorates the rim and the edge of the lid, which has a molded finial.
Of interest, this teapot is smaller but nearly identical in molded detail and enameled decoration to accession no. 1971.717.
