Wine Pot

Chinese Qing Dynasty

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture is a decorative teapot with an ornate, cylindrical design featuring vertical panels. Each panel showcases a pattern with white flowers and green leaves, and one panel includes a white bird. The teapot is primarily colored in soft green, yellow, and muted brown tones. The spout and handle are solid black, creating a visually striking contrast. The material appears to be ceramic with a glossy finish highlighting the intricate details of the floral patterns and colors.
