Vintage Chinese Porcelain Monkey Teapot

Kitschy Vintage Porcelain Teapot shaped like a monkey wearing a brightly colored Hawaiian shirt and clinging to a peach. The bottom appears to be numbered and the gold toned sticker reads "Andrea by Sedek Made in China" In Chinese culture the monkey is often depicted holding a peach, the fruit that gives immortality, stolen from Xi-Wang-Mu's garden. Although capable of stealing the fruit, the monkey is a good creature and has the power to ward off evil spirits. When depicted with a peach it is in reference to the Monkey God consuming the peach of immortality. It symbolizes longevity. Great gift idea especially for those born in the year of the Monkey ( 2016, 2004, 1992, 1980, 1968, 1956)
