Description

White teapot and lid with small roses spaced regularly over the body. The lid has a handle with a gold dot at the tip and two gold bands around it. This handle attaches to the disc-shaped lid, which has five small pink rose flowers with green and blue leaves. A double gold band rims the lid. The body of the pot has an upright rim extending above the lid. This rim is oval in shape and is taller (~1/2") at the front and back than at the sides (~3/8"). It is rimmed with gold at top and bottom. Gold bands and accents also appear at the rim of the spout, along the sides and back of the handle, under the floral band, and at the base. There is a floral band just below the upright rim. It consists of roses and blue flowers with green and blue leaves. Roses that match those on the lid are evenly spaces over the body of the pot. There is a star-shaped gold accent at the front of the spout.
