Antique Chinese Yixing Zisha Clay Pottery Teapot Cup Set Late Qing/republic

  

One teapot and four teacups, made of duanni, a type of high quality yixing clay. Teapot was carved all four sides, in the scene of mountain rocks, trees, village, hut, river and a man dressed in a robe standing on the brige, matching with scene is a chinese poem, Signed by the artist. All four teacups are carved and signed by the artist on either side in the scene of mountain, river, trees, hut and flowers. Carving technique was great and smooth, and had easily presented the beauty of ancient life in the form of chinese painting. On all of them, lid is also marked.

There is a slight variation in color of one of the cup, which is not unusual among old tea sets. Research suggested that the maker produced from late Qing to Republic. We would date this set to early Republic period. Condition of teapot is great with a chip at one corner of the lid, and what appeared to be an old repair to me, at the flange of lid. Condition of all four cups are perfect with just a tiny chip on the foot edge of one of the cups. It is really hard to find a set like this, and in such almost perfect conditon. Height is 165 mm approx. Depth at bottom is 96 mm approx. Width from spout to handle is 178 mm approx. Height is 55 mm approx. Depth on top is 64 mm approx. Widest width from one corner to the opposite on top is 98 mm approx.
