Physical description
The teapot is strong and monumental in shape. It is decorated with a floral/star band in underglaze blue and gold. The handle is twisting like organic branches. The top of the lid is decorated with a spray of fruit that resembles a strawberry in gold. On either side of the pot is a circle outlined in underglaze blue and gold, enclosing a family crest.
