Item Details
Description
Aesthetic Movement Chinese Style Teapot c.1875, 5 1/2"h, 8"l, modelled as a man in ceremonial dress pulling a sack over his shoulder, the neck of the sack forming the spout and a ribbon drawstring forming the handle. This design is inspired by the ancient image of Buddha carrying a sack which represents how a smiling Buddha gathers one's pain and anguish and places it in his sack before bestowing prosperity and optimism. The bag is also associated with prosperity and good fortune.

Catalogued and curated by Nicolaus Boston.
