Small covered wine pot or teapot

1662–1722
Not on view
This small, pear-shaped vessel, similar to three others in the Robert Lehman Collection (1975.1.15-17), has eared handles and curving spouts. The lids may be original to the pots. The pots and lids are painted in a linear style with classic scrolls and pendant petal-panels containing floral motifs, along with both pendant and upright leaf forms. The character yu (jade) is written in underglaze blue, with no encircling element, on each of the bases. The bodies of these four vessels are a bit softer than that of the similar piece 1975.1.1718, and the glazes are creamier in tone. There are chips on the vessels.
