Delftware Style Miniature Teapot

This is a miniature decorative teapot, likely made of ceramic or porcelain, featuring a classic blue and white Delftware style floral pattern. The body of the teapot is predominantly white with intricate hand-painted or transfer-printed floral motifs in a deep cobalt blue. The flowers appear to be a mix of stylized blooms and leaves, artistically arranged around the circumference of the pot. The teapot has a relatively small, squat body with a narrow spout and a C-shaped handle. The handle has a small, open loop at its top. Both the spout and handle are outlined with blue details, mirroring the decorative style. The lid fits snugly into the top opening of the teapot and features a matching blue and white floral design, topped with a solid blue finial. There are visible signs of crazing (a fine network of cracks) on the white glazed surfaces of both the body and the lid, which is a common characteristic of older ceramic glazes and can indicate age or a particular firing process. No apparent chips, breaks, or repairs are visible from the provided image, suggesting it is in good, albeit aged, condition. The base of the teapot is ringed with a double blue line. The overall craftsmanship appears to be of decent quality, consistent with mass-produced decorative ceramics from the mid-to-late 20th century, probably intended for display rather than functional use due to its small size. It does not appear to bear any discernible maker's marks or signatures from the visible angles.
