Teapot with Ruyi Motifs

Seifū Yohei III

Cleveland Museum of Art

White teapot with rounded body, short curved spout to right, and small knob on left side. The teapot has a metal handle and finial; the handle is arch-shaped and made of two thin dark brown metal rods on either side that attach to the body. The lid is flat with small lip around edge; the knob on top of lid is a dark color and appears to be made of metal. The background is a gradient from dark gray at top to light gray at bottom. The teapot appears to have some kind of brown design on the body; it is difficult to discern.
