A PARCEL-GILT AND SILVER-APPLIED COPPER RITUAL TEAPOT

Tibet, 19th century. The broad body supported on a spreading foot surmounted by a short cylindrical neck and domed cover with bud finial, flanked by the elegantly curved spout issuing from the jaws of a makara and the handle in the form of a two-horned beast ferociously roaring with the mouth wide open and tongue suspending a chain connected to the cover.

Finely decorated with chased and embossed silver inlay against neatly incised gilt-copper grounds within beaded silver borders and embellished with glass and gemstone inlays, the body decorated with two shaped panels on each side enclosing a winged apsara and a coiled dragon, the foot with floral and cloud decorations, the neck with a band of Lantsa script inscription.

Provenance: From a private collection in Finland.
Condition: Very good condition with minor wear.

Weight: 1,601.7 g
Dimensions: Height 28 cm

Elaborate teapots with handles in the form of dragons or lions and spouts issuing from the jaws of mythological water monsters ('makara') were found throughout the Tibetan cultural area in slightly differing styles. They were used only on special occasions such as weddings or other ceremonies or for an important visitor.
