🧡 Vintage Chinese Tea Pot 🧡

This is a vintage Chinese Jingdezhen 中国景德缜 blue and white porcelain tea kettle in a traditional translucent rice eye pattern. The kettle is hand decorated with an ornate blue enamel pattern along the bottom, around the opening, on the lid and the handle. Beautiful workmanship and high quality. “Rice grain” is a name of a technique rather than actual rice grains. To make this kind of decoration the holes are pierced through unfired porcelain and are then filled with translucent glaze. The teapot measures approximately 5 3/4” tall, 8 1/4” spout to handle and 4 1/2” round. Holds about 3 1/2 cups. Marked Jingdezhen 中国景德缜
