Chinese porcelain teapot with a thousand flowers

A Chinese teapot in fine porcelain with traditional Thousand Flower motifs, it is small, it is used according to Chinese custom for connoisseur tasting of carefully chosen tea. The translucent, luminous white porcelain is covered with enameled designs in rich, subtle pigments. The result could be compared to that of certain silks intended for sumptuous outfits. The cup that can accompany it is no less exquisite, a hollow at the bottom of the base allows it to rest on an island in the center of the saucer to prevent it from tipping over. The typical Chinese small bowl is no less charming.

Fine porcelain, from which the raw ore kaolin has been carefully selected, then molded at a very high temperature of 1300°C. The pattern applied to the biscuit was also subjected to very high temperature for this flocked, enameled and soft effect. The hand-painted gilding gives a luxurious and elegant finish. We like the gold lid button with a little flower at the top.

The teapot has a volume of 230ml, height 8.9cm. The cup 80ml, height 6cm, saucer 9.7cm in diameter. The 140ml bowl has a diameter of 7.8cm, height 5cm.
