🔍 PROVENANCE / MAKER NOTES

Produced at the famous Jingdezhen kilns during the Kangxi reign, this teapot reflects the technical mastery and decorative brilliance of Qing porcelain. The globular form was especially popular for export to Europe, where tea drinking had become fashionable in the early 1700s. The later European metal handle replacement speaks to the object’s long life of use and preservation, a characteristic often found in authentic teapots of this age.

References: comparable Kangxi teapots are held in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and appear in leading auction sales of Chinese export porcelain.
