| A second Chinese imari teapot and cover dating from the K'ang Hsi period of the early Qing Dynasty (1661-1722). Of rounded form with a dome shaped cover, the body is ribbed and decorated with peonies and chrysanthemums. It would appear that the gilding on the finial and touches of the body were "European cobbling" touches added in the late 18th century. Height: 4 " inches, diameter of the body is 3 " and the width including the handle and spout is 5 ". Condition is excellent with no restorations, nicks or chips. An almost identical teapot can be seen at the Peabody-Essex Museum in Salem, Mass - one of the finest collections of early Chinese porcelain in the US. Japanese Imari porcelain was first produced in the Genroku period c.1700 It was characterised by the striking use of underglaze blue, red and gilt, and occasionally green enamels. When it came to the attention of the Chinese at Jingdezhen that these wares were extremely popular in Europe, they began to produce Imari wares in competition with the Japanese. The first Chinese Imari pieces were produced during the K'ang Hsi period (1662-1722). As a generalisation the Chinese Imari pieces are much more finely potted and have a thinner and more even glaze. | ||||||||||||
