Catalogue Note

Although this is a very unusual decoration, Asian motifs were often used to decorate both European and Chinese and Japanese porcelain in the Netherlands and England. For a similarly shaped Asian teapot with a Dutch Hausmaler decoration, see H.Espir, European Decoration on Oriental Porcelain, p.92, cat.no.25.
