Lot 44: A RARE FAMILLE-ROSE TEAPOT AND COVER Yongzheng/Qianlong

A RARE FAMILLE-ROSE TEAPOT AND COVER

Yongzheng/Qianlong

Delicately enameled with a molded ring of lotus blossoms and leaves encircling the foot and the cover, the pear-shaped body framed by an elegant handle and spout and decorated with two medallions of Lan Caihe on a gilt and coral lappet surface embellished with pink enamel at the foot.


4 1/2in (11.4cm) high, overall

For this type of teapot and cover (that are invariably quite damaged), the overall condition is pretty good. There are some losses to the applied lotus flower decoration on each side and a small flake to the spout underside but otherwise in generally fair condition. An unusual color scheme and a rare combination of molding applied decoration, and Daoist panels. Recommended.
