About the Item

A lovely Satsuma Teapot. Marked on body and lid + pot rims. So, the teapot depicts the author Fujiwara no Teika (the text to the right reads, "Counselor Teika"), who lived in the 13th century. The calligraphy is the first three rows of one of his poems (with a slightly different spelling). It is written in old Japanese, and not really readable to the average Japanese, I think. I was lucky to find a translation to English, so I can't take the credit for that. Konu hito o Matsuho no ura no Yunagi ni Yaku ya moshio no Mi mo kogare tsutsu. Like the salt sea-weed, Burning in the evening calm. On Matsuo's shore, All my being is aflame, Awaiting her who does not come.

Antique Chinese Teapot Kangxi/Yongzheng Imari Amsterdam Bont Qing

Dating to 1st half of the 18th century Amsterdams Bont A relatively unknown niche of Chinese porcelain from ca 1680-1740 that was partly decorated in Europe. Because mainstream Chinese collectors have yet to discover the historical significance of these wares they are relatively easy to find in Holland. While also being highly interesting and of often super quality and with an amazing array of decorations. Amsterdams Bont is a name given to porcelain partly decorated in the Netherlands (most likely in cities like Delft, Haarlem, Makkum). Because Amsterdam was at this moment in time the trade centre of the western world and also of the porcelain trade a lot of this over enamelling was probably commissioned by Amsterdam merchants, to reap higher profits on otherwise boring Chinese wares. The name Amsterdam Bont probably derives from the fact that these type of decorated ware was sold by Amsterdam Merchants. Amsterdam Bont consists of either blanc or under glaze blue decorated Chinese porcelain...
