Description from the seller
Yixing “Prunus Blossom” Teapot — Marked 桂林 (Feng Guilin)
China, 20th century
A finely crafted Yixing zisha teapot of elegant five-lobed form, modeled as an opening prunus blossom. The rounded body is divided into five petal-shaped sections, while the spout, handle, and lid finial are naturalistically formed as twisting prunus branches adorned with delicate blossoms.
The plum blossom (meihua 梅花) holds deep symbolic meaning in Chinese art and literati culture, representing perseverance, purity, renewal, and resilience, as it blooms during the cold of winter before the arrival of spring.
The underside of the lid bears an impressed seal mark reading:
桂林
(Feng Guilin)
paying homage to the celebrated Yixing master potter. The teapot’s harmonious proportions, warm clay tone, and refined sculptural detailing exemplify the continued appreciation of classical naturalistic Yixing designs during the 20th century.
Dimensions:
H 11.5 × 19 cm (spout to handle) × W 13.5 cm
Capacity: approx. 650 ml
Condition:
Excellent condition; no chips, cracks, or restoration. Filled with water for one hour and found to be watertight.
Please refer to the images for the definitive and binding description of the item’s condition.
Shipping method: The item is securely packed and shipped with insurance.
