Antique Chinese enameled porcelain teapot with famille rose decoration

Antique Chinese glazed porcelain teapot, dating from the late 19th/early 20th century. The piece features a delicate polychrome decoration of figures, flowers, and insects, executed in the famille rose style, characteristic of Chinese productions of this period. The form is unusual, composed of two superimposed elements, with a lid surmounted by a small carved knob. Under the base is a painted Chinese mark, of the workshop or commercial type, commonly used at the end of the Qing dynasty. This is not an imperial reign mark, but a descriptive inscription attesting to traditional production using polychrome glazes. Condition: Present are old cracks and visible restorations, consistent with the age of the piece and its use. These marks of time do not detract from its decorative charm and authenticity. A distinctive decorative object, ideal for an Asian art collection or to enhance a shelf, display case, or interior with Chinese inspiration. Dimensions: Teapot height 13 cm, overall height 22 cm, base diameter 9 cm, widest diameter 13 cm.
