Description

The relief on the side of this teapot depicts the ancient myth of the Judgment of Paris.
A glossy white porcelain lid features a circular, slightly domed top. At its center, a tapered stem rises into a flat-topped disk knob. Beneath the dome, a narrower rim projects downward, marked by a small horizontal tab. A single tiny pinhole punctures the smooth surface. The lid casts a soft shadow to the right against the neutral gray background.
