This is an antique Chinese Zhu Ni teapot. It was passed down to me from my grandmother, who was a tea ceremony instructor. There is a crack-like fissure on the underside of the teapot's spout. It is unclear whether this is a defect from the manufacturing process. It is also unknown whether my grandmother actually used it at the time. The lid of the teapot is inscribed with the characters "水平" (meaning "level" or "horizontal"). I would like to offer it to someone interested in tea utensils. ◾️Size From handle to spout: 12.0 cm Height (with lid on): 8.0 cm Please note that there may be slight variations due to amateur measurements. Please refrain from purchasing if you are overly concerned about minor imperfections. Thank you for your understanding. I look forward to doing business with you. 21A 00034909070
