-Nice old blue and white teapot, with a floral motif in an Asian style.

-Research indicates that this piece is an example of Arita Ware.

-It was made in the 1800s, in a region of Japan that produced a lot of porcelain for export to Europe and North America.

-The pot is about 4 inches tall, including the lid.

-From handle to spout, the pot is about 6 inches long. It is about 4 inches wide.

-The diameter of the pot's mouth is about 2⅜ inches.

-Includes an unglazed tea infuser/strainer that fits into the teapot mouth.

-The lid has some mended cracks. There is are two pinhead-sized chips, along a mended crack line, on the lid. One is on the lid top; the other is on the underside.

-There is a fleabite sized chip on the pot's spout.

-Aside from these issues, the piece has no problems: no other chips or cracks. The glaze is shiny. Given its age, it is in quite good condition, considering that it was likely a daily-use item.
