This is a teapot, likely made in the style of Banko ware from China. It features intricate detailing, with two monkeys comically eyeing a peach.
There are markings on the underside of the lid and the body, but their meaning is unknown.
There is also a scratch, as shown in the images.
There are marks inside that appear to be residue, possibly from the clay. It's unclear if they can be removed by scrubbing. This item seems to have been made more for display than for practical use, so it may not be suitable for those looking for a functional teapot. Please see the images.
While there are no major damages, there are scratches as mentioned above, so please refrain from purchasing if you are looking for a perfect item or are overly concerned about minor imperfections. Thank you for your understanding, as this is a home-stored, vintage item.
Size: Height, from the highest point of the lid, approximately 8.5cm (approximately 6cm without the lid)
Diameter: Approximately 6cm
By purchasing this item, you are agreeing to the condition as described. Please review the photos carefully before purchasing to avoid any misunderstandings after the purchase.
