About the Item

For one short decade, from around 1910 to 1920, pewter was all the rage in China’s bustling commercial centers of Shanghai and Canton. Drawn to pewter’s soft, silvery glow, artists took advantage of the alloy’s malleability and low melting point to fashion beautifully crafted teakettles and canisters that rivaled the workmanship of fine porcelain. This timeless pewter teapot has a streamlined form, featuring a cylindrical body that curves elegantly outwards to a flared base. An angular spout hints at Art Deco tastes and a thin handle arches high above the domed lid. The edges are trimmed in thin bands of contrasting brass and the lid is decorated with etched grooves and a bright red carnelian agate bead. A delightful find from a highly collected period, this kettle is a lovely example of Republic Era pewter. From the collection of Frances and Gary Comer. Do not expose to direct heat.

Chinese Bamboo Cloth Teapot, c. 1900

Located in Chicago, IL

Tea drinking has been an integral part of Chinese culture for centuries, resulting in a wide range of social customs and material traditions. In addition to tea leaves, water, and heat, the art of drinking tea (chayi) calls for a variety of teaware and utensils - both practical and decorative. This charming teapot dates to the late Qing dynasty and is hand-carved from a hollow length of bamboo to appear as though parceled by a cloth strung with tassels. The teapot has a squat, rounded form and a dark brown finish, reminiscent of Yixing red clay teapots...
