Art Nouveau Chocolate Pot Unusual Finish

Collectibles : China, Porcelain : Nippon : Moriage : Chocolate Pot

 

Lovely pale green chocolate pot with stylized mums and many tiny yellow dots of moriage covering the surface of the pot. The raised petals of the flowers stand out on the background and shine with golden centers. All paint is enamel and the pot is textured to the touch, you can feel the dots and the design with your fingers. The top opening of the pot is scalloped as is the lid which fits very well in spite of the slightly askew look in the pictures due to my careless positioning of the pot without regard to the top. Very unusual piece, marked in characters I cannot read. Both the cover and the pot bear the marks. Stunning in its presentation this pot would compliment any home decor.A substantial pot, not eggshell porcelain as some of the Nippon items. I find no flaws, what appears to be a smooth break on the side of the top is in fact part of the molded top. This allows one to gently hold top and pour .See picture. No cracks or chips or crazing. Unusual and lovely pot. A unique piece.
