Originating from the Kangxi period, the puzzle pot tradition began in the 17th century, typically used as wine pots but sometimes as teapots. While this particular piece is a later version, it is believed to date from the late 19th century.
This teapot is in good vintage condition, with some expected signs of age, including crazing and a small chip on the tip of the spout. It is also missing its lid.
