Page 693 - Chinese SIlver By Adrien Von Ferscht
P. 693

The teapot [above] is literally smothered in traditional Chinese motifs and figural scenes. It is a high quality item
            that  although  highly  traditional,  has  many  individualist  elements  that  make  it  stand  out  from  the  crowd.  The

































            spout is particularly elegant; the continuous ruyi frieze skirted base an entirely appropriate addition.
            The pair of reticulated baskets with birds flying in and out of the bamboo foliate motif are superbly elegant and
            well executed.
