Subject:Tea Pot! What? Where?
Posted By: Cheshire Sat, Mar 22, 2014 IP: 67.5.102.209

Hi, i picked this up and have searched around with no luck. Not sure if its asian but i think it is. Please help. It is nine pieces total counting the lid. Made of ceramic, has a crackle look to the glaze. It has two distinct features. There is a frog on the pot lid and every piece has pure silver inlay on rim that seems to be pounded. Thanks for looking.

Interesting piece. It is Asian, with a Buddhist reference to the lily pad and frog sitting on it. This is important in the representation of Buddha and other dieties.
It's a shame the silver is still of good quality, yet the ceramic has aged, cracked and discolored over time.
Possibly from Thailand.
