Subject:tea pots
Posted By: Robert Howerter Mon, Aug 10, 2015 IP: 216.57.65.193

I came across these, what I think are tea pots. Can some one tell me something about these?

Thanks in advance

Robert

The first two photos look to be identical, showing apparently a transfer decorated teapot, probably late 20th century or subsequent Chinese ware, with an apocryphal mark of the 18th century Yongzheng reign (1723-35), and of decorative value only.

Best regards,

Bill H.

Seems to be a modern fantasy piece with a mark labeling it as from the Yongzheng reign period (beginning of the 18th century)

It could be a tea pot, but it's more likely a water dropper, used in calligraphy for adding water to an ink stone. An ink block is ground into the water to produce ink. The six characters on the back are a fantasy Qing dynasty mark, but too small to determine the reign (for me, anyway). Regards. Jim
