A white ceramic teapot with blue decorative garlands and bows is displayed against a plain gray background. The teapot has a curved handle, a spout, and a lid. A white porcelain teapot and lid that appears to be an egg shape. The teapot's handle is on the top half and on the other side is the teapot's lid. Below the handle are two small white feet off the side. The lid is a wedge shape about 1/6th of the circular form that can be removed. Inside the pot, there is a top chamber with a straining system and the bottom chamber. The outside of the teapot is decorated with a blue patter of flowers and hanging leaves. Gift of William Aberbach
