Olive-white Round Teapot # 96131

This round teapot has a generous curved body, a loop handle, and a short, slightly raised spout for steady everyday pouring. Its olive-brown upper glaze fades into a pale lower field, giving the simple silhouette a softly changing surface.

The rounded teapot became an established Chinese brewing form as teapots developed during the Ming dynasty. At the table, it is warmed, filled with leaves, and used to pour several infusions, either into cups or a serving pitcher.

Made in China, the piece shows a smooth ceramic body beneath an olive-white glaze, with darker colour gathering around the shoulder, lid, and handle. Rinse away tea residue with warm water and dry the pot thoroughly before replacing the lid.
