Tea-pot

Solid chiseled silver teapot, China Qianlong period. Very good quality of carving, with its cover and its original chain ?. Object of the daily life of the high figures of the Empire in the 18th century, faithful companion of the Letters, the teapot was treated in China in many ways, very simple in terracotta, or as here, in precious metal, which all testify of its great importance in individual and social life.
