<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cereus17, post: 10221108, member: 84316&quot;]Hi, I think this is a fun little thing (as well as being a bit of cheap tat made for the export market).</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s about 4 3/4 inches tall. There&#039;s no maker&#039;s mark that I can see.</p><p><br /></p><p>I hope there are a few members here that are familiar with these pots. I found quite a few similar pots through Google Lens - but with lots of varying descriptions....</p><p><br /></p><p>I have several questions.</p><p><br /></p><p>Is it Chinese? I see very similar teapots listed as Tibetan.</p><p><br /></p><p>Is the body ceramic / porcelain? My sense is that it&#039;s enamel on metal but I&#039;m not at all sure.</p><p><br /></p><p>Does the monkey finial pertain to the Chinese zodiac? (I see a few with rat and rabbit finials.) Are these pots made for New Year&#039;s celebrations?</p><p><br /></p><p>Any thoughts? Thanks in advance!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]510816[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]510817[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]510818[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]510819[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]510820[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
