Description:
A exceptional famille rose 'figural' teapot, Qianlong period, Qianlong period, Qing dynasty, (1736-1795), very rare and large Qianlong period teapot. The spherical body of this artifact is intricately adorned with a vibrant scene that captures high-ranking officials alongside elegant ladies and a servant, all set within a lush garden. This detailed portrayal not only reflects the social hierarchy but also the leisurely pursuits of the time. The handle and spout of the vessel are remarkably crafted, with the handle taking the form of a majestic dragon's head and the spout shaped like the head of a mythical phoenix. These elements symbolize power and renewal, respectively, and enhance the overall aesthetic and cultural significance of the piece, 22 cm high 36 cm (length)
