This antique Rose Medallion Chinese teapot is a stunning piece of ceramic art. Probably dating from around the 1880s to 1890s Hand painted with intricate designs, it comes with a unique wicker basket and silver strainer. The teapot's history is shrouded in mystery, with no available information about its previous owners. The cultural influence is clear, as its design is distinctly Chinese. This teapot is a great addition to any collection of Asian cultural artifacts or as a functional piece to brew tea. It does look like the lid has a repair and a crack or two. See pictures for overall condition. Inside of basket has some fading and staining.
I took good pictures so you can get an idea of the overall condition. Please ask me any questions before bidding.
