Small Chinese teapot, circa 1900 ?

Hi,

Continuing the clearance of my father's house, which contains a number of items from his grandfather who was stationed in Hong Kong in the early 1900s.

This is a small teapot, measures no more than 15cm across, unfortunately with a damaged lid.

If anyone can shed any more light on the item I would be keen to know. We're basically trying to find out as much as possible about the items in the house prior to selling (although I'm keen to retain most of it!).



Thanks,
Kevin.

 

Looks like satsuma, Japanese.

 

Yes, Japanese Satsuma. Look at Gyokusan section in this link.
