Teapot

USA, 1900
<p>This teapot has bamboo top handle on a body that begins with a narrow foor expands to a rounded shoulder then slants inward to a short neck. The domed lid extends beyond the neck. The surface <span>is covered with irregular squares. </span>The color of each square begins with dark blue at the top that gradually fades to light blue at the bottom. The squares are arranged at an angle with a corner  toward the top and another toward the bottom of the pot. Their edges create a series of strong diagonal lines. The straight spout is one color blue and begins with a bulge where it joins the body of the pot.</p><p>A view of the underside shows how the squares end near the foot bleeding onto a black ground. There is a white sticker with #204-C. The accession number, 2004.23.A, is written directly on the clay.</p>
