This is a beautiful purple clay Chinese Yixing teapot in flawless condition. It features a bamboo motif, with superior artisan craftsmanship.  I am not sure of the age but believe it to be a more contemporary piece, probably made sometime after 1940. Absolutely no damage whatsoever, it is in perfect condition and a literal work of art.

It measures 5 inches long, 3 1/4 inches wide, and 3 inches tall.
