Kelvin Chen Miniature Ladybug Decorative Teapot

This is a small-scale, decorative miniature teapot crafted in the style of Kelvin Chen, featuring a vibrant ladybug and leaf motif. The item is constructed from copper with hand-painted enamel finishes using a cloisonné-adjacent technique where wire outlines define the color fields. The color palette is dominated by lemon yellow in the background, contrasting with bright green and forest green leaves, and several glossy red ladybugs with black spots. One ladybug forms the finial of the removable lid. The teapot measures approximately 3 to 4 inches in width including the handle and spout. It displays a curved handle and a short, tapered spout, both decorated with matching leafy patterns. The interior appears to be finished in a light blue or white enamel. This piece likely dates from the late 1990s to early 2000s, a period when these collectible miniatures were highly popular. The condition appears excellent with no visible chips or cracks in the enamel, though minor brass patina is present on the exposed metal rims. The craftsmanship shows high attention to detail in the delicate line work and color gradients, characteristic of high-quality enamel collectibles.
