Document source description
The season is winter; pine trees juxtapose barren trees in this mountainous landscape. Two figures are depicted in the scene, one on either side of the teapot. Underglaze cobalt blue paint is applied with the outline and wash technique, which produces a variety of textures such as the soft watercolor-like brushstrokes that evoke mountains in the mist or the sharp lines of prickly pine needles. The lid is painted with buildings on either side. Teapots of this form are categorized specifically for tea and are a variation of a similar vessel meant for serving wine. An example of a traditional wine pot shape, also in the style of blue and white porcelain, can be found in the Walters' collection (Walters 49.1628).
