Japanese Kutani teapot - hand-painted porcelain

A red-and-gold border frames the hand-painted nature scenes on this Japanese Kutani teapot. The rounded body, curved handle, and matching lid give the small porcelain pot an elegant silhouette.

The teapot likely dates from the Meiji period, early 20th century. Due to the damage to the spout, it is primarily a decorative piece for a shelf or display cabinet.
