Light Green Teapot

The teapot has a contracted mouth, an oblate body, a short and straight spout, and a rectangular handle. Given a hint of foot ring, its flat bottom bears the Yongzheng six-character seal mark in underglaze blue and white. The white glaze appears on the spout and mouth because the glaze is thin. Its simplicity of form and absence of decoration were endorsed by the emperor.
This porcelain masterpiece, with the harmonious, elliptic dome shape and the clear, geometric lines of handle and spout, was an object for both use and appreciation. During the Yongzheng reign, the celadon-glazed porcelain reached it height both in the ingredient and production techniques. Thus, the glaze is considered perfect color.
