Comments

The white, globular teapot has a short, molded spout opposite a molded handle.  Floral decoration in plum, purple, orange and green decorates the sides.  A delicate band of dots and lines in purple, orange, and black decorates the rim and the edge of the lid, which has a molded finial.

Of interest, this teapot is smaller but nearly identical in molded detail and enameled decoration to accession no. 1971.717.
