This is a really BEAUTIFUL HAND PAINTED vintage porcelain or ceramic teapot in the shape of a large SEWING MACHINE and it is a MUSIC BOX too!! It plays "Try to Remember".  It was made in Taiwan and notes that and 1991.  It has the word "Infusion" on the machine and on the base.  Ornate handle.  It measures a LARGE 9 1/8" tall, 13" long from spout to handle and 7" wide.The ORNATE gold plate is FANTASTIC and it is not missing any on both sides!  The "table cloth" that is being sewed is white with BEAUTIFUL ROSES AND LEAVES on BOTH sides AND they are not missing any paint either! (In the first few photos it appears like they are missing the paint but it was because of the lighting when I photographed it, because you can see in the 7th photo and others that it is all there.) There is a little basket of pink and blue yarn on top and a scissors, little white box and 2 spools of blue thread.  Great condition with no cracks and only a tiny chip which is completely hidden by the sewing machine lid. Some crazing.  Exceptionally cute!!  What a really UNIQUE addition for your home or a WONDERFUL GIFT!         dor clst
