Encrusted teapot, cover and stand. Hard-paste porcelain painted in brilliant enamel colours of pink, yellow, green, turquoise, iron-red, purple and gilding. The teapot has a globular body moulded with a frieze of overlapping upright lotus petals in yellow, crimson and turquoise. The loop handle is in the form of a thin stippled stem in lime-green to match the upright spout which is attached by a gilt ribbon at its top to two sprays of water-grass extending in applied relief round the body of the teapot. There are two further ribbon-tied bouquets of lotus applied near the base to form feet. The flat turquoise top is centred with the round cover and decorated with two concentric circles of recessed purple and gilt cones to simulate a lotus-pod. The knop is in the form of a finger-citron painted pale brown. The stand is modelled as a lotus-leaf, the turquoise underside has pink veining applied in relief with lotus stems to form feet. The white interior has incised veining and is painted with a lotus clump.
