| A very large, elegant and highly unusual, signed Yixing (I-Hsing) teapot of the Shou Xing type by the famous potter Shi Jinting. The very long, upright handle is decorated allover with carved nuts and leaves, a pattern which is continued onto the body. The teapot stands approximately 18 inches tall and is in excellent condition with careful wear and patina from use but without cracks or chips. The lid is stamped twice with a gourd-shaped seal containing the two characters “Yu Feng” referring to a very well-known shop of the early Republic period which lasted until the Japanese invasion of 1937. The square seal on the underside of the pot contains again the shop name “Yu Feng” (from top to bottom on the right) and the name is reiterated in Manchu characters on the left. The two characters at the top of the square seal are “Shi Ji” and refer to the well-known potter Shi Jinting from Yixing who lived through the Republic period and was commissioned by various shops including, in this example, the Yu Feng shop. Shi was well known for the “Shou Xing” (lit. Longevity star) type teapot of which this is a typical example except for the highly unusual handle and decoration which make this an especially rare and unusual example of Shi Jinting’s work. | ||
