A SMALL INSCRIBED 'ROCKS' YIXING TEAPOT

QING DYNASTY (1644-1911)

The delicately potted vessel is decorated to one side with an abstract illustration of large craggy rocks, beside a signature 'Shan Nong ke' (carved by Shan Nong). The reverse has an inscription suggesting that the illustration imitates the work of the Ming painter Shen Zhou (1427-1509). The base has a square seal mark with the pseudonym 'Shu Chao', raised on three short round feet.

4 ¼ in. (10.8 cm.) wide across handle and spout
