Blue and White Japanese Ware Teapot

This is a blue and white ceramic teapot, likely of a Japanese ware style as suggested by the associated text. The teapot features a distinctive lobed or fluted body, resembling a pumpkin or melon, with vertical indentations/ridges running from the neck to the base. The primary color scheme is white with cobalt blue intricate painted designs. The decoration appears to be floral, with larger, circular flower blossoms (possibly chrysanthemums or peonies) repeated around the body, intertwined with flowing leafy vines and smaller floral elements. The handle is an arched, overhead type, also decorated in blue, and appears to be integrated into the body design, painted with a striped or segmented blue pattern. The spout is relatively short and angled upwards, similarly adorned with blue details. The lid, partially visible, has a small blue knob finial. The overall condition is described as 'Very good' in the accompanying text, and visually, there are no obvious chips, cracks, or significant visible wear, suggesting good preservation. The craftsmanship appears to be of a reasonable quality, with consistent brushwork evident in the floral patterns.
