White salt-glazed stoneware lozenge-shaped teapot with spout in the form of a human arm and hand grasping a serpent
White stoneware, press-moulded and salt-glazed. The teapot has a lozenge-shaped body with a spout in the form of a human arm and hand grasping the head of a serpent, and a rolled loop handle with two notches on the top and a kick at the bottom. The lozenge-shaped stepped cover has a capstan-shaped knob, and a flange underneath which fits inside the neck of the pot. It has a small ventilation hole beside the knob. The four sides of the pot are each decorated with a central shell in relief surrounded by bands of Greek key pattern and figure-of-eight motifs.
