Additional Information

Note:

The form of this teapot derives from English George II silver kettles, which were extensively imported into China through the East India Companies during the 18th century. Cf. a tea-kettle on stand, Qianlong, illustrated in the exhibition catalogue by M. Gillingham, Chinese Painted Enamel, Oxford 1978, p. 78, no. 101.
