Antique Yixing Teapot with Enamel Decoration – 20th Century – No reserve

Beautiful hand-crafted Yixing teapot in red zisha clay, richly decorated with hand-applied enamel floral motifs in soft tones of green, white, pink, and yellow.
The lid features a charming frog-shaped finial, and both handle and spout are finished in a distinctive turquoise-green glaze.

Origin: China, Yixing kilns, Jiangsu Province
Material: Red Yixing zisha clay with polychrome enamel

Mark: Impressed seal mark reading “Yixing Hui Mengchen zhi” (宜兴惠孟臣制), meaning “Made by Hui Mengchen, Yixing.”
This refers to the famous 17th-century master potter Hui Mengchen, whose name was often used on later high-quality pieces as a tribute to his classic craftsmanship.

Dimensions: 12 x 18 x 11.5 cm (h x w x d)
Condition: In never used, clean condition, one minimal chip on the bottom of the rim of the jar, not visible from outside. No cracks or restorations.
