Chinese teapot, Famille Rose, Canton   211
Bought this teapot in a charity shop, the ticket read "sold as seen" so I checked carefully for any damage but couldn't find any obvious signs of damage or restoration, I get the feeling its pretending to be something it isn't. It is 5ins tall and has a wire handle covered in thin red string, the outer rim of the base is rough, as is the inner rim of the lid . Ive taken as many pictures as I could to give an overall view. Does anyone have any knowledge about oriental pottery.

Well I'd say it was Chinese, not a copy as such, but dates to the 20th C, I guess early - mid 20th C, but not 100% sure.

An auctioneer in New Orleans describes it as "Chinese Porcelain Famille Rose Covered Teapot, 19th c., with straw wrapped wire handles, the sides with bird, butterfly, and floral decoration"

I would guess late Guangxu or early Republic.and fencai instead of Famille Rose.
