Covered Wine Pot

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Covered Wine Pot, created by artist, depicts a teapot with an intricately designed body featuring two handles, one on either side. The body features a lattice pattern with an oval cartouche on the front, containing two figures standing on waves, surrounded by curvilinear patterns. There are floral motifs on the front and right side of the body. The base of the body features the same lattice pattern as the top. The spout extends from the right side, while the handle extends from the left. The top of the pot is domed with the same lattice design with a pattern resembling scales. The background of the image is plain.
