Teapot and cover', late Ming or early Qing dynasty, 1620-1720, Dehua ware

Teapot and cover, late Ming or early Qing dynasty, 1620-1720, Dehua ware. Height: 7cm Diameter: 12.4cm. C.15&A-1913. © Victoria and Albert Museum, London.

Teapot and cover of brown stoneware, covered with a crackled glaze over a white slip. The body is in the form of a pumpkin, the stalk of which forms the handle of the cover. The curved four-sided spout springs from a monster's jaw, and the loop handle is in the form of a conventional dragon.
The vendor is a missionary in an Amercian mission in China and obtained this teapot at the village of Foi-tsai near Swatow together with the other specimens already obtained from him: C.185, 186, 230-1912 and C.9-1913.
